How do I stop the Software Update messages without updating my software?

I keep getting Software Update messages asking me to update to Firefox 30.0 for a security and stability update. I do not wish to update any time soon, and I am tired of constantly getting these messages. The only two options I'm given is to "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox". When I hit the "Ask Later" button, the message keeps coming back very regularly. I don't want the message to keep coming back and I don't want to update. Is there a way to stop these messages from coming to me without actually updating?

Thanks.

Firefox updates only after every 6 weeks of stable version. Make sure it not malware.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
