How do I turn off the Spyware in Photoshop 7?

How do I turn off the spyware in Photoshop 7?
PS7 wants to access the Internet.
Can I turn this off or do I have to just block it with my firewall?
Thanks

Well with Photoshop Elements you go to Edit --> Preferences --> Adobe Online and set check for updates to NEVER.

Should be something similar in Photoshop

That's not spyware. It's just trying to download updates.

Yeah it "phone's home" and what most people have done was use a firewall program that blocks unauthorized outgoing requests... zonealarm comes to mind.
