Apparently, I was provided a link to a proper DMG but, looking inside of the installed app, I see a "_MASReceipt" file so someone unnamed bundled it up or otherwise saved the downloaded installer and then made it available to me (and others) with the link.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it did update to the latest version automatically but I tossed that updated version and reinstalled v7.5.3 and locked it. I do not know if this will prevent another update which is why I ask:

@MADDZ - Would you post the path to that folder I should lock? Thank you.
