I installed v2 but v1 still keeps loading....how to stop?

I am a neophyte with a macbook air, just trying to get v1 to quit loading now that I have v2.  Thank you.

The easiest thing to do is open OS X's "Users & Groups" preferences, select your user, then the "Login Items" tab and remove Alfred from there

 

Cheers,

Thank you for your help.  Another Q:  can't set hotkey at preferences, and hitting the apparent default ( ~`space bar) does not work...it just makes the page scroll down.  Maybe this app is over my pay grade?

The default hotkey is Control+Space to activate Alfred. Are you perhaps looking at the wrong version of Alfred? Removing it from the auto launch that Andrew mentioned, doesn't close Alfred 1 if it was still running. Alfred also has a menubar icon in the beginning that could be used to get to the Alfred preferences.
