xpy provides a variety of helpful tweaks to your system for security, speed, privacy, and more. In addition to various anti-spyware features, it can disable common security threats (RPC/DCOM, LMHash), increase performance, usability, and tweak Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.
Note: The program doesn't come with an explanation of each setting change so users not familiar with Windows should proceed with caution.

version 1.3.8 is available @ sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xpy/files/xpy%20Redistributable/1.3.8/
(and @ PortableApps.com too)
v1.3.7
The Website link to xpy.whyeye.org has the most current stable version as being up to xpy v1.3.4 but the download link at xpy.whyeye.org is bad.
v1.2.7
Mark's comment made me curious, so I ran this tool in a virtual machine. My only guess is that he selected all settings, ignored both warning messages and proceeded. I agree, use with care, and that includes not ignoring warnings.
v1.2.7
@Spook Murphy and anyone else: false positive.
Pretty slick and nifty. No FAQ, so google-fu required. Doesn't detect currently applied settings though. I already had some uPNP and Media Player stuff disabled but xpy shows the boxes unticked. Oh well... Nevertheless one of the fastest and imho easiest to use tweakers out there.
V1.2.5
Backdoor Trojan. xpy, a fitting name indeed.
This is a must-have for those who know what they're doing.
It has changed a lot of stuff.
Your urgent help please to restore my windows into original settings
this program doesn't do it
For Windows Vista you have Vispa:

Haven't tried it yet though...
Great application, fast system and open source.
Thanks Napiophelios. Updated entry and download site.
v1.3.
