Logitech’s updater

Have you ever dealt with the updater app for Logitech’s software? It seems to go something like this:

Logitech: I’m going to check for updates, is that OK?
Me: Yes, and don’t ask me next time, just do it.
Logitech: Great, sounds like a plan. There are no updates right now.

Logitech: I’m going to check for updates, is that OK?
Me: Yes, didn’t I already tell you not to ask me, just do it!
Logitech: Maybe, I forget. Oh, and there are no updates right now.

Logitech: I’m going to check for updates, is that OK?
Me: What the %*#@, quit asking me, just do it in the background like everyone else!
Logitech: There are no updates right now.

I haven’t quite figured out the time table, but every so often after a reboot, I get this dialog telling me Logitech is going to check for updates.

And every time I hit the configure button and verify it is set to do this automatically without prompts, yet it still asks me again. It teases me with settings to prevent this dialog, yet won’t actually obey the settings.

Then after it checks, it dutifully tells me there are no updates. Thanks Logitech!
