I call any program that adds auto-update garbage. How do you know you want the newer version? Calibre 4.23 to Calibre 5 should not be auto-updated. That should be done manually. Also, KindleForPC should never be auto-updated.There are others.

So yes, auto-updaters are garbage and should be deleted.
