Well, the icon appeared on my Windows 7 computer at work and I find it very annoying.
Over the years I got to strongly dislike icons [that I did not explicitly asked for] appearing at the system tray, because it usually means that there is something unwanted running in background eating up precious resources at my computer.
Everybody and his brother thinks that his little program is the most indispensable piece of software ever written and that users want it running on their computer in the background 24/7, or at least a quick-start icon or update notification service. One little thing in the background is not a big deal but some computers I service occasionally have dozens of unwanted and/or unneeded programs eating resources.
So ... I do not plan to update in a foreseeable future and my very first reaction was. How the [censored expletive] I remove that BLOODY thing from my systray?
I have hidden the icon yesterday and today it was in my systray again. Sigh ...
