Although this seems like a great idea (and I would like it too..), what if
Google
releases a security update that isn't distributed to users with the updater
turned
off? If settings are added, there should be "security" and "bugfix" sections.
(I'm
not sure, but I think you can do this in Ubuntu.)

I'd rather take my chances than let Google Update run 24/7.

google, or any server sister of this client, could potentially "broadcast" a
specific
hash at a specific location for "high-priority" fixes. Standard practice is for
programs to check for updates when they start; instead just run the routine to
check
for "priority" fixes on start or run full omaha, decided based on the setting.

Supposedly, a way to change update intervals and other settings was made
available
recently:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/05/google-update-releases-update-
controls.html
or
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/05/customize-or-disable-google-update.html
But on XP Home, I can't seem to get the registry settings to properly disable
auto-
updates. I tried setting AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes to 0, and
DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue to 1, but GoogleUpdate.exe still launches
and
connects upon login, and stays running. (I also tried some different values
just in
case, without success.)

Not comparing apples with oranges, however Microsoft update have those options
long
long ago, and allows users to disable the whole updating service. Some of us
may
already have other ways of getting notified with updates, or in cases where
administrators do the job on behalf of most users already.

Most of the discussion in this issue seems to be related to the long-running
GoogleUpdate.exe, so I'm marking it as a duplicate of Issue 2.
Changing the interval of update checks and how specific apps are updated is
addressed
by the features described by
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/05/google-
update-releases-update-
controls.html as mentioned above. Those features do not control how
GoogleUpdate.exe
runs.
As of version 1.2.183.7, Google Update uses the Task Scheduler instead of
running all
the time in most cases. See
http://code.google.com/p/omaha/wiki/GoogleUpdateOnAScheduleOverview.
