How to turn off Software updater? (Xubuntu)

Is it possible to turn "Software updater" off? It pops up on startup every single time offering new (unwanted) updates. I have tried to set "don't check for updates" and all this kind of stuff in Software updater settings. But it still pops up.

It's annoying, could you advice how to get rid of it?

One of the easiest way I did to overcome from this problem is that you can remove update-notifier

sudo apt-get remove update-notifier

Please note that, this will remove only the graphic way to do system updates.. You can still do your upgrades using commands or Synaptic :)

You can always reply if you get in any trouble.. :)
