HP ProBook Installer 6.1 (beta): Ivy bridge support
The choice you have is simply not to use these things. Especially when you don't have an identifiable problem with a known solution in one of these tools. Pushing all the buttons and turning all the dials because the buttons and dials exist does not make sense.
That is not to say that these tools do not have any value. Given an identified problem where the solution is provided/documented in one of these tools, they can be used as a shortcut or easy access.
HwMonitor is in a constant state of updates. Almost every day.
I do not update every day my own repository because 1) it is annoying, 2) it is unnecessary, 3) it requires work on my part, and probably the most important... 4) I prefer to sit on some of these changes for a while, test them, and make sure the software is working on both my systems before I push a release.
You can turn the notifications off in HwMonitor preferences if you don't like them.
yeh you are right about it. what other choice do we, 'noobs', have apart from not using it for house keeping.
ccleaner and cleanmymac was recommended by a broad user base on win/mac. onyx i stumbled across while trying to fix a problem on the mac (some kind of function/feature that was on sl but was hidden on ml like the 'quit' finder.

btw will hwmonitor be updated? everytime it checks for updates, it seems to be ahead of the probook installer.
