You can disable update at startup in the settings page 2.

I don't think the Status should be Invalid. just because i can disable updates, 
that doesn't mean the bug doesn't exist.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I can click the X button to close the update 
dialog when it appears and it will cancel the updates and close the dialog.

PeerBlock 1.1

are you sure you have the right X button? ; besides which, that is not as 
important as the other problem: it should not ask to update if it Is up to date.

This is an issue I am experiencing as well. I update to 1.1 and restart win7. 
When I power back on peerblock is back to 1.0 and asking to be updated despite 
a successful installation before restarting.

Hmm, if the upgrade doesn't appear to be "taking" - meaning every time you 
reboot your machine it's reverting from PeerBlock 1.1 to PeerBlock 1.0 - this 
means you probably have a second copy of PeerBlock installed on your machine.  
This generally happens if you'd downloaded the "portable" .zip version of 
PeerBlock 1.0, and then the "setup installer" .exe version of PeerBlock 1.1.

To fix things, try doing the following:

1. Reboot your machine, so that PeerBlock 1.0 starts
2. In the second page of the settings tab, deselect "Start with Windows"
3. Reboot your machine again
3a. Verify that PeerBlock has not started
4. Re-install PeerBlock 1.1
4a. (optional) Reboot again, make sure that PeerBlock 1.1 is now starting

After that you'll just need to figure out where you initially unzipped the 1.0 
version of PeerBlock.  So long as this is not in C:\Program Files\PeerBlock (or 
wherever you installed PeerBlock 1.1), these older files can be deleted.

For the 1.1 release we moved the "portable" .zip version of PeerBlock to a 
separate page, so you really need to *want* that version before being able to 
download it.  Hopefully this should prevent people from mistakenly installing 
that one, and nobody should experience this issue again in the future.

Please note that if this is NOT what is going on in your system, let us know so 
that we can re-open this issue and figure out what's happening.

Hope that helps!
