mad Google Update Intaller pops up every 15-30 minutes since I loaded Picassa and Chrome. Followed instructions to remove all related programs here involving typing either of these into Terminal

Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app
/Contents/Resources/install.py --uninstall


or

sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app
/Contents/Resources/install.py --uninstall


but get error messages in either case. For example:

sudo: /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app
/Contents/Resources/install.py: command not found


Hate this pop-up and will make do with no Google downloads (except Google Earth) until they fix this issue... In the mean time, how can I get rid of this nasty feature?
