Your app continues to tell me every day to buy your paid version. You
should update it to add some new pro feature to the paid version.

This is seriously annoying that your app does this.

The button on every page on our website at the top takes you here:


The second option talks about how to disable the update checker.

Growl 1.3.x does provide more features than Growl 1.2.2 did. But you aren't required to update to 1.3.x as that page says.

I agree with Dan.

As this was included out of the box this is a pretty shady Nag Ware tactic.

Everyone knows the opt in rule.  We shouldn't have to opt out of being whinged at by an app.
App spam is not acceptable.

What are you talking about? Growl doesn't come out of the box.
