Re: Apple using iTunes update to auto-install Safari

The real problem is with Apple's stand alone Safari installer. Even if you uncheck both Bonjour and Software Update-it installs them anyway. That is sneaky. The easiest work around is to use a utility like 7zip to extract the installer, delete everything except the Safari installer and then install it.

Bonjour's (and iTunes) use of multicast made my internet connection unusable for months until the ISP made some changes on their end.
