How do I stop and completely disable "Tray Monitor.app" on macOS?

Thread needs solution

I would like to have no Acronis apps/services running all the time, and do backup once per week by starting Acronis True Image manually.

Tray Monitor is annoying tray icon and I can't find option to disable it.

Any time I kill "Tray Monitor" process it starts up again instantly, Active protection feature is disabled.

How to disable it permanently?

Magic terminal lines helped:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.acronis.monitor.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.acronis.monitor.plist

There should be option to disable it on the UI, isn't it?

Thank you for your feedback (will be forwarded to the product team) and sharing your workaround! 

Workaround doesn't appear to work on latest version and I'm unable to kill Acronis Monitor app in activity monitor -- uninstalling software until this can be fixed. 

sudo chmod -x "/Applications/Acronis True Image.app/Contents/MacOS/Acronis Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Acronis Monitor"

sudo kill `pgrep "Acronis Monitor"`
