Disclaimer: I've never used Picasa, but I know where its help pages are.

There is Picasa and Picasa Web.

The function of which you speak is called 'name tags' - the pics are
scanned for faces so that you can give them a name, which would be
useful for some purposes.

The nametags are enabled by default in Picasa. You toggle them on/off in
Tools/Options/ Name tags tab -

In Picasa Web Albums, the nametags are disabled by default. The
instructions for enabling are disabling are at the link (which also
shows instructions for Picasa):

Ok, I found it. trouble is I had to hide 138 faces one at a time until
the directory disappeared. No handy 'select all, delete all' of all things.

If you don't want this thing scanning all your drives and making faces
out of all your files, turn it off right after installing it. Else you
could be deleting them one at a time and taking years if you have
thousands of pictures.

Quickest way is to format your hard drive.
