WD Smartware should be made available in 64 bit, bug free with improved performance as now most of the desktop/notebook operation systems are 64 bit and moreover the software is really a resource hungry and I have noticed when we set the software to run/check only in case the system is idle, it always kick in and running and consumes a lot of precious CPU power.
Hello,
Try updating the WD Smartware version all those problems were solved.
