How to get rid of McAffee online backup?

Hello All,

Here are the steps I promised late yesterday on how to disable the backup service. Please try the steps and let me know if this work around is sufficent.

Steps to suspend McAfee Online Backup

Navigate to the System Tray ( to the left of the clock) at the lower right of the screen

  Look for either the McAfee M icon or the Online Backup icon, ( Three arrows in a cirlce within a silver shield)

Clicking on the M icon

  Double Click on the M icon

  Navigate to and click the Data Protection and Backup Drawer top open it

  Click on Online Backup link to open the Online backup status window

  Now follow the steps in the section below

Clicking the Online Backup icon or Navigating the Online Backup windows

  Click the Configure button to open the Configuration menu, This may take a moment to open

  Click on the large Options Button at the top of the window (The button has Two Gears, one large and one small)

  Click the Scheduling Tab within the Options section (Option Button background should be darker than the other buttons)

  Note: On Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems you will need to click the "Change settings that are currenty unavailable"

  navigate to and click the check box for "Temporarily suspend automatic and scheduled backups", lower left side of the window

  Click the "Save" button on the Configuration menu

  Click the "Hide" button on the Online backup status

I have just updated the steps as I had used some acronyms in the instructions. I do appoligize, it is a bad habbit. If further edits are needed please let me know. identify the section that needs to be updated and I can review the steps again.
