Since you rarely see any developers comment on the forum, any answers you get are going to be from users like yourself. If no one knows the answer, you will generally never get a reply.
I did look through the settings and could see no way to disable the auto-update capability. However, this release is very stable for me. I have yet to see a crash.
Are you sure the latest stable (6.0.0.10) even has auto update? I personally have not found any sign of it, and it does have at least 2 ways to manually update. Can anyone confirm yes or no to this? Thanks.
If you go to click the wrench and select About Comodo Dragon, you’ll see it check for updates. This is the same thing the previous beta did which had automatic updates, so I’m assuming this version is automatically checking for updates as well.
