Mobile Utilities or Security overrides auto-sync settings

I recently installed Mobile Utilities as well as Security on my HTC EVO Shift. I have auto-sync turned off, but ever since I installed these two apps, my email has been auto-syncing quite frequently. My phone still shows auto-sync as disabled. This tells me that one of the two apps is overriding the phone's settings. The question is, where can I control this in the settings for whichever app is causing this problem? I have looked everywhere!

 

Thanks in advance!
