Disable the "upgrade now" pop-up

Every morning I sit down at my desk and virtualbox is telling me I need to upgrade.
Is there a way to disable that popup?
I've been seeing that pop-up every morning for over a month, and its become tiresome. Its like hearing a phone ring 58 times and thinking "yeah, they'll pick it up on the 59th ring. Sure."

I can't find a "preferences->update".
Host is macos. Two guests: one windowsxp, the other is ubuntu 11.01.
Windows rebooting I couldn't care less about (its windows. it needs frequent rebooting). But the ubuntu box is a development machine and rebooting would cause ripple effects since many edit windows and eclipse sessions are running.
UPDATE: I didn't realize I needed to run the UI side of virtualbox in order to get to the preferences. I turned off the update notice. I'll know if it worked come Monday morning. Thanks for the tip!

Every time I upgrade past 4.0.12, OS X starts suffering kernel panics when VirtualBox is running. Which is very, very, very, very, bad as it completely hoses any work I may have been doing in the host OS.
Symptoms are described in this issue and have hit quite a few other users:
