mcafree changed to a new desgin.

i have autoupdates DISABLED

yet the stupid thing still updates / download updates WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

how the heck do i make this dumb thing stop? i am starting to hate mcafree. seriously. the auto updates screw up whatever i am doing so I HAVE THEM OFF FOR A DAMN REASON.

so why is the updates off no longer working?

Sorry for the trouble BeeFood, there may be various reasons for the updates to be disabled. However, please clarify the following:

1. What is your Operating System?

2. How was the McAfee programs installed to your computer?

3. Since you say it has "changed to a new design" - check and let us know the version details of the same

4. What type of internet connection that you are using?

5. What is the version of your Internet Explorer?

It's really not a Update it's a Upgrade. However, have you tried the following to disable the automatic updates feature?

[Aldrin]

BeeFood - were you able to get that done?

[BeeFood]

Does no one read what i wrote? i said i turned updates OFF ALREADY. they have been off, they are off, the settings say they are off...i have said that several times

AND YET IT STILL WANTS TO AUTOUPDATE. it just tried it a few minutes ago. i end progamed the piece of crap again. i do not want the stupid updates downloading on their own without my permis, or installing on their own without my permis

YET ALL THE FREAKEN SETTINGS SAY AUTO UPDATES ARE DISABLED.

so wtf is going on?
