    3. Never check for updates
  5. I selected the “never check for updates” option. You may also select the first option, which will update automatically without any prior notification.
  6. Selecting the third option will open a popup saying: “System Preferences is trying to install a new helper tool”. You may have to enter you Admin password. Enter your password and click Install Helper.
