Excluding Specific Automatic Updates.
When the update icon appears in the Notification Area click on it.
That opens a list of updates offered.
UNcheck the box next to KB973346. Click OK and another small windows
pops up.
Put a check next to " If you ever show me this update again I’ll buy a
Mac " … but seriously, I think the box says " Do not show this update
again " or some similar verbiage. Doing that will Hide the update and it
will not be reoffered.
