McAfee AV ver 9 [always trying to get online]

I have installed McAfee ver 9 to replace ver 7 runing in Security Center. I have DL the latest updates and dat files yesterday and rechecked this Am. The new version tries to go on line every five minutes. I have deleted the McAfee info from the MS Task Scheduling but it is replaced by the 5 minute thing. I have contacted McAfee Chat Support twice but they did not solve the problem. If I can't stop the 5 minute thingie I will uninstall ver 9 and go back to 7. Any help appreciated. I have unchecked via of msconfig any McAfee entries that look like they are for update etc.

Hi oldbear
It sounds like it is checking for updates.
This is not reccommended because you have to update manually.

Right Click the red M in your tool bar
Click update
Click configure
(On mine the top one is selected, install the updates automatically.....)
There is a "Disable automatic updating and let me manually check for updates "

If you check this one and it solves the problem, Make sure you check for updates 2 or 3 times a week.
Sometimes I will have 3 updates a week.
