Disabling Antivirus and Ransomware - Settings reverted - grayed Box - Bloated installation
First I need to say that including Antivirus protection in a product installation without having the option to uninstall is ridiculous. Completely. It is disturbing my Antivirus and clogs the CPU at 100%. Very very bad.
But now I also have the situation that I even can’t switch Antivirus off. The setting is reverting, and not saved if I press OK. Same for the scheduled scan setting. Please check the attached screenshots.
Also the button is greyed out. Downloads do not work.
Unfortunately I bought 10 licenses, and now I have to live with this immature piece of software. I really regret the purchase. Not to speak about the more than 800 MB installation file and unneeded service installations.
But I have to live with this, so please find a solution.
Please, let the user choose NOT to install Antivirus, and other unnecessary things. Make a professional installer where components and installation path can be chosen.
Thank you.

Hi Steve,
thank you for your reply.
As I mentioned, I could not switch off the settings in the protection panel.
After switching OFF and pressing OK, the setting was automatically switched ON again (See Image Capture 2).
It was not possible to switch Protection off, it just was not accepted.
I had to uninstall True Image 2021, now my computer is usable again.
BTW, where can I find the ICR TI-213392 you mentioned, is it already online? I will for sure vote for that...

As I wrote in the earlier post,
Acronis have an internal change request: TI-213392 Allow installation without Antimalware components which is being worked on, which I would encourage all users to add their vote for by submitting Feedback quoting the above request details!

Voting True Image 2021 as a backup solution only, I shouldn't have to waste additional True Image Windows Services, I have OTHER antivirus handlers already, per internal change request: TI-213392 Allow installation without Antimalware components

Agreed, please add my vote to allow installation with Antimalware components. I need to install this on another system to clone some drive and I'm dreading it! Trying to find another way, without having to install all the extra unwanted features.
