 Adam: very neat application, offering many tweaks to further enhance your Windows security. [2006-03-31 15:35]

 Mark: Sorry but this piece of rubbish ruined my system, full reinstall was required.
use with caution or not at all. [2006-06-24 03:04]

 ahoier: can't vouch for Mark's comment, hehe. But I've been using this program on all my installs for a while now, it's really neat. When you set what stuff to change (fix? lol) it does have the option to create a backup, last time I checked...and it also gives you input about what values it's changing, at what locations/files...so, if something fubar's it shouldn't be too difficult to go back... [2007-01-07 09:40]

 Bill: I've used this since about version 0.93. I haven't had the same experience Mark had but like any tool that changes things in your registry it's important to understand what the changes are before you make them. XPY is a great tool and it does exactly what it says it will do. I've never had a technical problem with the software, only my own lack of caution. [2007-01-07 12:40]

 Webfork: Increases security and privacy similar to xp-Antispy, except for being open source and has more features. Negatively, XPY doesn't provide as much explanation as xp-Antispy but options like being able to delete the needless several megs of music, picture, and video data, as well as killing links to Windows programs no one uses. Used with xp-Antispy, they clean up a lot of Windows garbage.

 daniel: It has changed a lot of stuff.
Your urgent help please to restore my windows into original settings

 Gaziza: This is a must-have for those who know what they're doing. [2008-08-20 11:46]

 Spook Murphy: Backdoor Trojan. xpy, a fitting name indeed. [2010-01-08 12:58]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
