Windows – Nvidia process nvtray.exe tries to connect all the time

nvtray.exe trying to connect to port
I have updated Nvidia GeForce GT 545 to driver version 320.18. Now every time i start my PC [Windows 7 64 Bit] i see in TCPView program that ntray.exe tries to connect all the time to the internet and fails. In the settings of GeForce Experience i turned off Automatic checking for updates & Notify me when updates are available. Also i set the Service Nvidia update service Daemon in services.msc on manual, so actually this should not be happening. The thing is that i don't want Nvidia to check for updates automatically but only when i want to. How can i solve this problem ?

It also bothers me how many Nvidia processes run on my PC. Do i need all of them to run ?
Nvidia processes

There is probably a bug in the latest version 320.18 of NVidia GEForce. Setting on manual the service NVIDIA Update Daemon will cause this problem. ntray.exe will then try all the time to start the update service. The only way stop this is to set all the NVIDIA services on manual. Maybe this will be corrected with the next update.
