Spybot Anti-Beacon 3.4.8.0

Privacy protection has become more and more important as time goes on. The ways people can maliciously ruin your life increases the more years go by. The latest OSes have security as a top priority, but that comes with them constantly gathering telemetry data from you. On top of that, they don't tell you when they take your data, and the option to turn them off is myriad and difficult to find. One of the many programs that block off telemetry access is Spybot Anti-Beacon.

There's no installation when it comes to Spybot Anti-Beacon, making it portable and easy to use. Usage is very simple, although no restore point is created. You are advised to create a restore point by the program, and it's highly recommended that you listen. There are various settings that this program can tamper with. There are checkboxes to choose the ones you want but they aren't visible unless you choose "Show Options". Additionally, it displays short explanations of the registry keys, tasks or services each option will modify. On top of that, there's a universal Undo button so you can revert all changes you make whenever yo uwant.

It can also block telemetry-related hosts and services, restrict the telemetry group policy and automatically block apps that use advertising ID. This guarantees that Microsoft can't take your personal data without your express permission. While there are a couple of places that could use improvement, Spybot Anti-Beacon does its job incredibly well and anyone using it can rest easy.
