AntiBeacon was a temporary shtick to cash in on the Windows 10 spying paranoia (because it's not like they were making money with Spybot). I never expected it to get updated. Maybe I just give W10 too much credit, but I just don't believe that you will ever be able to block telemetry, or any other similar feature that these tools claim to block. Microsoft need to keep rolling in the data money, while simultaneously giving users the illusion that you can actually stop them. I'm honestly more worried about M$ features becoming more and more hardwired and impossible to edit/remove.

If you're using Rollback Rx, make sure you're backing up the data with Drive Cloner. I didn't realize that Rollback Rx doesn't recover from hardware failiure, but if you're going to use Rollback it's worth the extra $40.
