Yes I do have SmartWare installed, but that’s silly on it that I don’'t need neither use any features of it.
Only thing of WD I need is the status bar icon background monitoring SMART status and temperature, but as I experienceed the status icon doesnot work if wdfme service is not started 
I 'm not against complete uninstalling smartware but afraid the temperature monitoring won’t run which is crucial for me as my myBook drive suffers with unexpectedly high operational temperatures.
