Tecra M9 (PTM91E) how to remove the installed software / how to stop HARD drive

Just having a play with the new "beastie" and it seems to be exactly what I want. However, some problems are annoying me.

1. the installed bloatware!

2. the disk drive continually ticks away when the machine is at rest. Investigation with a sniffer package/program indicates that the service of AMT is continually send and receive data packets of bytes 70 to the client on the computer. Every second or two. Using about 2-3% of cpu resources in the process.

Basically, I use the laptop as a stand-alone work station and see no need to have a service that constantly questions the chipset for so-called mistakes and supposed to be written to the log of sysevent. He feels the potential of surveillance unsolicited - which I suspect that someone made.

The question is... do I need to have the AMT (lms & ums) software on the system - and if not, can I uninstall stop the activity continuous disc shatter tocking without adversely affecting the operation of the equipment?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am somewhat concerned by the AMT of documentation I've read - purely a question of 'private life '. I don't relish the idea of having someone with intelligence to write external programs that can enter into the bowels of the machine to interrogate harware/bios/sysevents, etc. (even when he is off!)

I can understand it to a company, IT control aspects, but as a user of the singular that occasionall uses the internet.

Thank you!

Hi Ron

(1) I don't know what bloatware do you mean exactly, but to be honest, there is no installed bloarware.
Is that Toshiba laptops support different features and different functions that must be controlled by a software/driver. If you would remove such software then you would not be able to use the FN keys for example
Anyway, if you want to remove some pre-installed applications then you can do this in Control Panel-> programs & features control

(2) sorry but AMT software does not know me basically there s nothing unusual you HDD ticks from time to time. The same thing happens on my laptop even though that I don t use the laptop. I think that it s a Windows operating system.
