You can block the update check URL on your firewall though.
Either I have to keep a copy of matching executable
DefaultUpdatesPeriod
, if you keep the default "Enable automatic updates ..." installation task. So just turn the task off and the updates will be disabled too. This obviously won't affect the existing users anymore.
DefaultUpdatesPeriod
is the default.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2]
"DefaultUpdatesPeriod"=dword:00000000
