For the McAfee to be able to carry out the automatic updates, you will need to make sure that you have set it to updates itself at a certain time in its settings. And even after you have set that, you will need to make sure that you computer is connected to the internet at the time which you set it to carry out the automatic update process, for the process will not be successful otherwise.
You can also set the antivirus to carry out the automatic updates as part of the windows updates, and that means that you will need to set it to update itself automatically when the windows updates are being downloaded and installed on your computer.
