 * Can I comment out
 * > wp_update_plugins
 *  in the update.php file to get WP to stop the automatic updates for plugins? 
   I got screwed when it updated Contact Form 7 without my knowledge. The rest of
   the subroutine looks like this:
 *     ```
       function _maybe_update_plugins() {
       	$current = get_site_transient( 'update_plugins' );
       	if ( isset( $current->last_checked ) && 43200 > ( time() - $current->last_checked ) )
       		return;
       	wp_update_plugins();
       ```
   
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * if you still want to stop the updates you can chose any of the below two options,
 * 1> [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-wordpress-plugin-updates/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-wordpress-plugin-updates/)
   
   You can use this plugin to stop updates in the plugin.this will stop all the 
   updates.

 * 2> you can change the plugin version to very high number from the plugin folder
   in your plugins header portion.
