Apple Software Update versus Microsoft Update

After you install iTunes for the first time, Apple Software Update runs and offers Safari 3.1 for Windows. The text at the bottom of the dialog box reads "Note: Use of this software is subject to the original Software License Agreement(s) that accompanied the software being updated." This text appears even when Safari has never been installed and the user has never seen, much less accepted, a license agreement.

You can clear the check box for Safari and then close the Apple Software Update dialog box, but when the Update program runs again a week later, you'll be offered Safari again. The only way to make it go away is to leave the Safari item selected and use the Tools, Ignore Selected Update option.
