Removing/Skipping Updates on Mac App Store

I have to say one of the more annoying things with software is having to constantly update them. The App Store does make this easier, however I am getting updates for apps which aren't installed and apps which I haven't brought with my Apple Account.

Somehow my Mac App Store shows that their is an update for Angry Birds, however when I try and update it, it asks for an account which I haven't seen before. Is there a way I can delete the record of the update? As you can see in the screen shot the update for Angry Birds wants a random Apple ID. Even when I am not signed into my Apple ID I get notified about it.

Help Anyone?

To everybody having this problem, it's because you have an downloaded copy of Final Cut X on your system.

0	-removed, violates TOS- watch the video above from from 3:33 so just redownload your cracked "angry birds", do what is shown on the vid and delete it, when it shows no updates answered Aug 22 '11 at 11:02 tripl3z 0●1 edited Aug 23 '11 at 02:25 kevin ♦♦ 35.7k●160●317●590
