Can you disable or delete the crapware autobackup software?

Absolutely, in fact the backup is not automatic unless the user configures it.

My virus protection (McAfee) is interfering with the backups as Erik noted below. I'm not sure how to correct it. However, I wouldn't count on Clickfree device still working. I plan on contacting Clickfree to figure out what's going on. In the meantime I'm backing up using a flash drive...sux.

In response to Joshua's comment, see my earlier comment about installing the software disc and then uninstalling the lousy software. I use Vuescan from Hamrick software.

If you are backing up to an external drive, you will be fine. You can program the software to make scheduled backup to any drive but I do not know if you can change were the data resides unless you do that at installation of the software.

does not come with antivirus or data protection. The button is for auto back up, which I don't use. I do it myself and don't use the button or software.

You can use Storage Management under System Management to delete the backup partition. Once its free you can make bigger the other partition with this free space. Be sure not to delete any partition marked as. ACTIVE/BOOT.

go into tools and then options all the way at the bottom. It will allow you to choose not to save any history and will solve that problem for you.

The software is on a disc. I don't know about any "backup program" This is an Anti Virus program.

Yes... I am on 7. I just use it to save critical files on. Don't fully understand the "back-up" software that is supplied with it.

There's always running backround processes. But you can get an app for free called "cleanmaster" that can kill those processes

Mostly Add/Remove Programs will work, but I like to use CCleaner (aka Crap Cleaner). It is a good utility for disk health and full removal of programs.Hope that helps!

No. That's not really how I used this software. I uses to fix a damaged drive data table. It doesn't sound like that's what this is.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. Make a folder completely separate from the one where the backups are being directed, and put anything you want in that folder.

I can confirm that it is possible to disable the self destruct feature. This is accomplished by accessing the drive through the Start button, Double clicking the Icon and pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, start, select, A, B, A, B, B. Self-destruct will still be enabled but you should now have unlimited lives.

I used it with norton , but I uninstalled it after the free month but if I remember it was hard to get rid of ?

@Book WitchI should think that it is. You may be able to use Western Digital's software included on the drive to aid you in your backup. If, however, you do not want to use their software, preferring to use another backup program, it is easy to delete the WD software (the easiest way to delete all of it is to merely reformat the drive in NTFS format).

You can either A. - Disable the Auto Play for that device -- Usually by plugging the device in and then right clicking it and checking in properties and what not for the auto-play B. - Erase all files on the Clickfree device (Including the hidden ones) and use the device just as an external hard drive
