Preventing Google From Installing/Reinstalling the Update Engine (SoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate)

Google reinstalls the software updater when its applications are launched. To prevent this I created an empty file at ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate or empty the folder using rm -rf command, then transferred ownership to root and made it read-only for normal users:

touch ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate

sudo chown root ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate

sudo chmod 644 ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
