How the hell do I turn this stupid thing off? I tried blocking it with my firewall, but evidently I either didn't get the right .exe, or you absolutely have to use the Microsoft firewall. I'm using a computer at home and don't really need it, so I'm looking to get rid of it permanently.

Manual will merely launch it when it's used, you make it disabled to ensure that it stays off.
