I dunno how good this is but I reckon it wont be around LONG if it works like the guy says it does!

This reminded me of one of my favorite XP hack freebies called Antispy-XP.

I'd think all these should be done manually by a savvy user but the tool makes it easier and faster?

Side note; I have seen a number of blogs touting a program called DoNotSpy10 that claims to let you lock down some of these security issues using its interface. This program installs malware (OpenCandy) and hijacks your search settings. You have to opt out of these added "features". User beware.

[edit] Seems the web is catching up, various services are now blocking the download site as phishing or malware.

To be clear, this just changes options that you can already change yourself.

Also, multiple security firms have warned against using it, or flagged it as a PUP due to it's bundled add serving engine.

Ding, fries are done!

So, it is a spyware or bundled with it, huh? That sucks. I imagine there will be more like it hoping to take advantage of the new and clueless Win10 users!

Win10, Lose20.
