Hello--I have noticed Microsoft AU Daemon running in my activity monitor every single time...I force quitted it right now, but I'm sure it's coming back...how can I disable this from starting automatically every time?

I tried searching in the help of Excel but couldn't find anything...

Thanks,

That will come back, because it's in your startup software.
It's the auto-update for your Microsoft Office software.
Go to your Applications folder, and find Microsoft Update. Open that, and change the selection to Manually.
Quit that, then open your System Preferences/Accounts pane.
Click on Login Items, and click on Microsoft AU Daemon - then click the (-) at the bottom of that window to delete that item.

That will take care of that showing up every time, but I think it comes back if you run the Microsoft updater again.
 
It may also show in System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login items. If Microsoft Autoupdate is listed, remove it from the list. It's eating a tiny amount of resources for nothing...
