I keep getting an "upgrade OSX" notification (see screenshot below) with the only options being to "install" or "details" which provides more info.

I want to do neither, is there a way i can just close it, or better still prevent it coming up in the first place ?



The machine in question is currently running OSX 10.11.6 (latest patches)
