Thanks but this is not at all usefull to me. I have already disabled. I don't want netgear spyware on my network and I will return this router and replace it with something less intrusive if it cannot be totally removed. I will return this item to the store this weekend.

Considering your browser probably tells a site more about you than Armor I would think it's the last of your worries to be honest plus your isp and DNS thrown in. 
if it's not enabled there will be no communication unless you turn it on or subscribe to the service and to be honest all routers phone home even just for checking updates and i really don't think they are interested in us mortals.
