 * By default, plugins don’t update themselves.
 * Could you provide a list of the plugins that have automatically updated without
   you clicking on them?

 * It seems like this plugin may be downloading its own updates, which is against
   the WordPress plugin directory policy. I’ll pass it onto the review team for 
   further investigation.
 * Thanks for pointing it out!

 * But is there a way to block plugins from updating? I just don’t want to wake 
   up on day and then my site is down but I don’t know witch plugin it is that made
   it go down.
 * Thanks
