10.4: Prevent 10.4.7 from checking for Widget updates

Did you test that? I'm pretty sure you have to use an absolute pathname:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dashboard.advisory.fetch.plist

Yes, I tested it. Yes, it works.

You can either cd to the directory that has those filenames, as done in the first line, and then issue the command, as done with the second line, or you can use the absolute path. Just like any other unix command.

man launchctl for more info.

launchctl list will tell you which of these services is running under your username. Prepend with sudo, and you find which are running for the whole system.
