 Webfork: A great tool for customizing the Windows Operating System and for turning off elements in it that can hurt your privacy. The software does a few things better than a similar program XPY (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=299), but I tend to use them together to fill in the other's weaknesses. [2009-11-23 14:55]

 mike: kudos for the "what's new" - it's new, right? ;) seriously - not only u included this must-have-section-that-so-many-sites-tend-to-ignore, u even translated it - thank you! [2009-12-27 23:13]

 anoncow: what's the difference between seconfig's stealth and this one? Don't they both need to write to the registry to do their thing (which is fine in their case)?
Does xp-antispy write something else? [2010-01-07 14:58]

 Webfork: @anoncow: yes, both write to the registry. Seconfig is a bit more strict in some areas, while xp-Antispy has a little more flexibility in its controls. [2010-01-23 22:29]

 cAPSLOCK: Well this programs JOB is to write to the registry. ;) So we shouldn't worry too much about that eh? [2010-01-26 08:13]

 anoncow: The problem with the internet is that, even when you spell out and try to avoid something, that something happens anyway.
Notice "which is fine in their case"!
And about the JOB, the beggining of that sentence:
"Don't they both need to write to the registry TO DO THEIR THING"

The question is what's the difference between the two. [2010-01-27 02:04]

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.
