The only thing they could point me to was this KB Article that was apparently created today. I had a long Chat with Acronis this morning that was totally unfruitful.
Acronis true image free cnet update#
I presume invoking such blocking will likely also inhibit minor build version update notifications (such as the recent 6688 build) - but I can live with that - I'll just have to make a point of checking the website for 2014 product updates from time to time.įairly long-time TI customer here (since 2006). Since these systems all reside on the same local subnet I may first try setting up a firewall block rule for the IP/URL to see if that addresses the issue. I find it a bit sad having to resort to this measure in order to address the problem - but that's what I'll gladly do if need be. I read with great interest the suggestion about utilizing the HOSTS file (a strong "Thank You" BTW, to that poster for this insight/revelation of the offending Acronis IP/URL!) to block the offending Acronis source IP/URL. Thanks for the quick response Colin (and others) -Īs the other posters have already reported, switching off notifications fails to affect the prompts (FWIW, I'd already tried that measure prior to posting). However, both disappear after a short while.Ĭhanging the hosts file only eliminates the update notification and tray icon on my 64-bit machine, not the tray icon on my 32-bit machine. On my 64-bit machine on the other hand, the same icon is shown with a text balloon, indicating there is an update available. The icon always remains in the tray, it does not disappear after a certain period. Therefore I had to find out it was related to True Image by shutting down processes in Task Manager process by process and when the icon disappeared after closing TrueImageMonitor.exe I knew it was related to that process. The tray icon has no description and no right-click or left-click options, unlike all other tray icons. It seems that Acronis did some sloppy programming however, because it was a hard job to link the icon to the process TrueImageMonitor.exe, which (a.o.) indicates there is an update. Before changing the hosts file I only get a tray icon on my 32-bit machine to indicate there is an update, no text balloon. I have a Vista Ultimate 32-bit machine and a Vista Ultimate 64-bit machine.
