    Spybot Anti-Beacon?

    Anyone try Anti-Beacon? I became clear to me that WIN10 has built-in viruses (compatibility telemetry, problem reporting, etc.). I believe Anti-beacon was designed to stop MS privacy attack.

    I use it on my wifes Win10 machine. It works, but you have to check it once in a while, particularly after a windows update, to make sure it's still blocking everything.

      There's value to the board beyond our common interest in hand guns and rifles. Thank you for the post!

            If you did, here is a step-by-step guide for setting up 10 with the focus being on privacy and security rather than data collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kGMCfb2xw

            It is the OL's computer. I didn't do the WIN10 downgrade install. I am still running XP Pro SP3 on my computer and will never give it up.
