How can I avoid the GB update?

My phone works perfectly and I am happy with it just the way it is.  How can I avoid having the GB update forced upon me?  I don't want to have to do a factory reset or go through any other gyrations to get the update to work and I have heard of just too many issues with the GB update.

I understand not wanting to have the update because of the posts on here, but honestly, for every bad GB post on here, there are thousands of people who have absolutely no problems with it. You'll only see the negatives on here, the people who come here just to complain about it. Personally, my DX works perfectly with GB. I love it, love the new colors and options and the new homescreen and dock bar.

Where is it? I see System Updates, and when I tap on it after a couple of seconds it comes back "your device is up to date". 

I don't see "Updates" by itself, nor the "auto updates."

I have had no problems with GB. In fact, I rather enjoy a lot of the changes made.

I've had no problems with the GB update on my phone either.

 

And I can't find anywhere that I can uncheck "auto updates".
