Makes it easy for everyone to stop all the Windows 10 spyware - thanks O&O.
"O&O ShutUp10 means you have full control over which comfort functions under Windows 10 you wish to use, and you decide when the passing on of your data goes too far.
Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated.
O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days!"

I think most people appreciate the effort (including me). There are one or two who just like to turn it into a 'mine is better than yours' debate which you should just ignore.

Yes you can but as you said that's pretty stupid. Security updates good... Unnecessary driver updates.... Bad... I'm waiting for the targeted popup adverts based on your browsing history to start. I'll be sticking with Windows 7 till 2020 and then migrate to Linux.
because you bite back so many times? people are free to their opinion and you could've just ignored it instead of trying to one-up them constantly. If you can't tolerate being trolled, don't feed them.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as sending at "what's up" to a server once a week. If it was, this storm wouldn't have brewed up in the first place because all versions of Windows phone home to some degree.
Windows 10 collects data for virtually every single thing you do on your computer and where you go, even just clicking on Start sends calls to Microsoft and Bing. Exactly how much data it collects, how personal it is and how it's used, Microsoft won't say.
Whether you are OK with that is personal choice, but most users are not happy about the sheer level of it. And you can only reduce it, not turn it off, which is why tools like this exist.

Google has the largest data farm in the world, I wonder what they do with it?
I agree - a doddle to install & activate (about 30 seconds)
great reports
brought to you by the well-regarded Spybot team
Think this is better, more options with decent explanation.

Of course you don't you nonsensical bickering idiot......
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
This is before we even get to all the spying and security vulnerabilities
People are crazy
Brilliant! Couldn't agree more about Faceache. Personally, I use dual and multi boot machines with a split between M$ and Linux in various flavours which allows me to keep tabs on things. However, I realise this isn't within everyone's capabilities (or they just can't be 'arrissed) so third party software like this isn't necessarily a bad thing for the average user.
Try the last option first:

Agreed. No reason to go the Win 10 route, people should steer clear. Microsoft might get the messsage they can't shaft everybody any way they want.
If for whatever strange reason you need/want to move away from Win7, you have Win8.1
But Win7 is still the choice of most professionals who know what they are talking about.
Win10 is not just spyware, but also surprisingly ugly.
Your choice bud, nobody is forcing (despite MS trying very hard).......
"I wonder what else the software does" - what do you mean? this software is not installed at all, it runs standalone and O&O is a known reputable company!
Prefer the simpler interface of O&O and looks like it has more options. Don't see how one is more secure than the other.
As opposed to no install! what reports does it have? just tried the portable version on 2 machines but just getting an error.....SDCuttheline.exe could not be found
Ill stick with the O&O.

Would assume they are just referring to switching off the windows 10 functions you are not comfortable with.

I strongly get the impression that since I installed safer-networking.org/spy…on/ - the computers at home have all got faster connectivity
Good for you, glad you are happy with the software, wouldn't be any use if it did not turn off the features it said it was going to.........
Anything to backup that statement, do you work for safer-networking or something, you seem very determined to push this software without providing anything to say why it is better......
nope don't work for them - just a happy user
zip! fast computers!
Because using powershell makes you smart.......or most likely able to google......genius.
Why would I bother when I have a simple application that would do the job, unless I'm looking to do across a network and would probably use group policy anyhow.
It's possible to turn off updates completely but not advisable as you know, it's why I've kept them running.
That would be those functions from when I turned my PC on to when I shut down my PC then. What a blessed relief you could upgrade back to Windows 7.
