I upgraded to 6.0 & hated it. I am back on 5.6 & get that annoying “upgrade now” banner that pops up every time I log on. I am sure there is a way to remove that. Can someone help? If so, please explain in steps so a layman can understand. 😀 Thanks!!

This has been addressed in previous posts — a search shows this as one of the answers. Note that you can also have your firewall block access to just the auto update program, as well. Be aware, however, that the old version was not upgraded when the latest security vulnerability and patch was announced.

Although, 6.0 has its flaws, it seems to be a lot more stable.

And especially w/ the .png exploit that it was found.

I would recommend sticking w/ 6.0

Plus, yahoo will soon be restricting access when using the 5.6 version.
