Divx6: Would you like to upgrade to Divx 8.0? It comes with tons of new features and a better codec and it’s better than Divx6 in every possible way!
Me: Okay, fine. I am tired of arguing about this. Upgrade.
Divx6: Yay!

Divx8: You have a trial period of 15 days.
Me: Trial period? What? I had a license!
Divx8: You had a license for Divx6. You have to pay for Divx8 if you want to use it. What, do you think our programmers work for free?
Me: Well, I already paid for Divx6 and Divx6 worked just fine. Uninstall.
Divx8: Noooooooo…
{After the uninstallation of Divx8 and reinstallation of Divx6}
Divx Installer: Are you sure you want to install Divx6? Divx8 is available.
Me: Install Divx6!
Divx Installer: {sigh} Okay.

You might be able to find that updater program in the program’s folder and delete it like I’ve done for Adobe’s ridiculous updater.
