After spending several hours trying to find a a solution, i was able
to track someone down who knew.  Instructions are as follows:

1) Go to the help on the menu bar.
2) Select check for updates.
3) Let it begin to run.
4) Once the updater window is up, select Preferences on the left.
5) Uncheck the box next to "Automatically check for Adobe updates"
6) Hit OK
7) Select cancel (seems counterintuitive, but the disabled auto
updates option is still saved.)

Hope this helps.
