WDFME.exe Process Keeps Running

I have installed 1.4.5.2 on my system (Win7 SP1).

I have a WD MyBookLive (no USB, just attached in my LAN).

I never run a SmartWare-Backup on this PC and I don’t wana do it since I have Win7 Ultimate with its integrated Backup here. Only installed the software to access the Drive as NAS.

After some time, I realized, that the CPU-Fan runs much louder than usual during work.

Today, I realized, that it is this ¦@#°§¬§°#@ WDFME.exe which is taking up one CPU (have a Quad Core, so CPU-Usage in Taskmanager is still 12% due to this intel threading thing, but in fact, its 100% of one CPU). Memory usage was 450MB.

This is absolutely inaceptable. I just wanted to have a NAS, nothing more.

How do I use WD MyBookLive as a NAS only without having to kill down my PC?

What is with the other PC’s in my Homenetwork which require the SmartWare Backup?

I mean, I have bougth the WD-Drive since I thought it is a good quality one with good software. But this is a nightmare.
