Disable automatic updates

How can I prevent dropbox from automatically updating itself? The new dropbox 3 has a very anti-windows-7 UI that I don't like, so I reinstalled 2.10. How do I stop dropbox from continually install...

@System Void

You are right, there might be security exploits without a regular upgrade.

Problem is that some updates are not running with my Win XP Pro and old CPU and I have all the time to uninstall DB, clean my system, reinstall the previous working version, reindex all my files.

It takes about 2 hours to do that.

I am planning to shift to other cloud service when the one year contract will expire.
