I have noticed an annoying icon that keeps appearing on my desktop each time I mount the HD, apart from the HD icon that is, and it is a WD SmartWare icon in the shape of a disk, that I can't dismount/eject while I am using the HD. I can eject the HD and the WD SmartWare icon remains. What makes it even more strange is that if I click on the HD to show what is on the HD in find the WD SmartWare does not appear. I don't want to click it in case I launch what ever it is, just want to find out what it is and get rid of it. Any ideas?
