| I just found how to disable it... It is not removable since it is a Windows executable file. You can disable it by following these steps: 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Go to Administrative Tools 3. Go Services 4. In Extended Tab there is the SNMP Service and SNMP Trap Service... You have to disable them both. 5. Right Click on the Task (SNMP Service)and go Properties. 6. In General Tab go in Start up type and do Disable. 7. Press ok and close. Hope This Is Helpful. Emma | |
