Of course, if you're running Windows 10 and trying to avoid spyware, it's already too late.

Of course, if you're running Windows 10 and trying to avoid spyware, it's already too late.
- iliis 10y agoTrue. There are some tools tough that try to help. E.g.: http://www.winprivacy.de/english-home/ http://www.winprivacy.de/english-home/ https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking Now if only they could be incorporated into the standard anti-virus tools...
- voltagex_ 10y agoPlease don't use these without fully understanding the impact of them. You may also be disabling parts of Windows Update at the same time. From the open source one: "Note: Windows Defender may report the EXE as a trojan (Win32/Pocyx.C!cl), and may therefore prevent you from extracting the EXE to anywhere on your computer. Set up an exclusion in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Exclusions by adding the folder you intend to extract the EXE to." Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
- OneNoteIsFree 10y agoProof please. Besides FUD, can you show me actual Fiddler logs that say Microsoft takes any of your usage, adds your personal information to it and then saves it any more than what Android does? If not, please leave. Don't spread false information, you may think you're cool and hip for hating on Microsoft but lies always come back.
- LeoPanthera 10y agoI don't much like it either, but there's no need to inject anti-Windows propaganda into every single post about everything.
- saynsedit 10y agoThere is nothing "anti-Windows" about my post. It isn't a biased take, it's not propaganda, it's just fact. There is somewhat of a logical inconsistency in trying to avoid spyware on Windows 10 that is hopefully explained by lack of knowledge. The purpose of my post is to inform. Not everyone is aware. http://www.networkworld.com/article/2956574/microsoft-subnet/windows-10-privacy-spyware-settings-user-agreement.html http://www.networkworld.com/article/2956574/microsoft-subnet...
