Product name
Spybot Anti-Beacon
Pros
  • - Has reccomended and optional features
    - Extensive lists of links used to track you
    - Changes settings so the barest minumum information is sent to them
    - Simple 'One Click' way to immunize your system
    - FAQ inside it
    - Good support and very light
CONS
- (Not the programs fault) Microsoft announced the tracking cannot be stoped, only limited
- No automatic updating
BOTTOM LINE
Very good program only two bad points (one isn't the programs fault).

This program constantly reverted the settings back to their original state every time I attempted to block the telemetry -- at least on my end. I'd be kinder, but I'm not convinced that you can block most of this stuff to begin with, particularly on Windows 10. [2 stars]

Does this work well with the Windows 10 Insider Previews? I am not sure of the previous phones home any more than normal updates. Any info would be appreciated.
