Destroy Windows 10 Spying is a portable app that can block anonymous data being sent, remove apps that can’t be removed the standard way and more. I liked that it can remove some of the Windows default programs that can be removed under Apps & Features, an annoyance I immediately discovered since I prefer to “slim” down windows.

Some of the domains we know send anonymous information back to Microsoft include:

I thought that Windows 10 allows free update and his 'price' is privacy, but for users that have already buy Windows 7 or 8.1 this is not right.

I thought that Windows 10 allows free update and his 'price' is privacy, but for users that have already buy Windows 7 or 8.1 this is not right.

Yeah the status of Windows 10 as "free" is blurry and confusing to say the least. Microsoft communications on what exactly their doing have been especially bad of late but were never very good. When you set the standard, you can play both sides of an issue and then pick whatever you like whenever you're ready. I don't know if it's the best example, but I recall all the confusion around the various, wacky versions of Windows Vista and 7 (Ultimate, Home, Starter, etc.).

it's just me self-wondering why Anti-beacon has not been mentioned yet, even having a .paf download available.

Looks like a freeware program that's there to attract users to the anti-spyware Spybot freemium program.

Program synopsis:

• Spybot Anti-Beacon is a standalone tool which was designed to block and stop the various tracking (telemetry) issues present in Windows 10. It has since been modified to block similar tracking functionality in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.
