Q: How do I get rid of an unwanted software update message?
How do I get rid of an unwanted software update message?
Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.9.5.
On June 3rd 2016 I received a software update notice for my Brother printer. Driver version 4.0. I don't recall if I actually downloaded it. Then I went to the Brother website and checked for the latest update which turned out to be driver version 4.5. I successfully downloaded that. On June 10th I received a software update for the old driver version 4.0 again. I don't want to install an old driver but I can't get rid of the nagging update notice. Too late, it got installed when I was composing this message. So, If I reinstall the 4.5 update and I get another software update message for the 4.0 update, how do I get rid of it?
When I select the Software Update Community it comes up in Windows Software and I can't change it.

I used to get update of notifications of flash. I uninstalled it and now they don't bother me. And the usual mac OS updates, can be turned off from settings of mac app store.
In your case, I can say, try removing the brother driver and installing it again, if it nags you once more.
