On installing the smartware software for my book elite, I checked to allow WDDMStatus to install. This program is a nuisance as it sends out every 10 seconds and is using up my expensive bandwidth. I have it presently firewalled but I would like to know how to properly get rid of it.

Disabling works OK , it gets rid of the system tray icon. I downloaded Acronis true image WD software free from WD site and this is a great product if you have a WD hard drive.
