- shostack 11y agoAny idea how secure and effective it is? Got to be honest, I'm pretty terrified at what Win10 lets them collect. They are pushing really hard to get people to install Win10 and the fact that they backported all the data collection stuff and crammed it into updates all the way back to Win7 is very telling.
- newman314 11y agoYou should be able to verify with wireshark. I thought I had followed most of the best practices soon after release but this tool identified a whole bunch more.
- AdmiralAsshat 11y agoHow much does it actually shut down? It seems like every time we look we're seeing more stuff that MS is collecting.
- newman314 11y agoSeems to shut down quite a bit. Plus, they seem to update the app pretty frequently. I would still recommend usage of a multi-prong approach: firewall rules, hosts file, registry fix.
