Use this app to disable Windows 10's data tracking services

Aug 28, 2015 05:52 GMT  ·  By

Destroy Windows 10 Spying, an application whose purpose is pretty obvious just by reading its name, has received another update, bringing even more tools to make sure all data tracking services in Windows 10 are disabled.

Microsoft most likely didn't see this coming, but the tracking tools that it integrated in Windows 10 aren't everyone's cup of tea, so the company is now being accused by some privacy advocates and by some of its users of trying to spy on them.

While that might sound quite exaggerated (and it probably is, given the fact that Microsoft is mostly looking to collect data in order to improve its own services), apps like Disable Windows 10 Spying are experiencing a terrific success these days because they promise users to turn off all features that might collect their information.

Version 1.5 build 325

Since it reached the market, Destroy Windows 10 Spying has received thousands of downloads, so the app developer is working to further improve the app and make it even more effective.

Recently, he has pushed out version 1.5 build 325, which brings a Spanish translation and improvements to the French language, as well as new router rules and the possibility of blocking spy tasks in Windows 7 and 8.1. This way, the application can disable some of the services that might collect data in other OS versions than Windows 10, so if you're on Windows 7 or 8.1 right now and afraid that Microsoft could get your information, this little app can help.

The same easy-to-use interface continues to be offered and so are the intuitive options that come with very self-explanatory names to let you know exactly what you are disabling.

As usual, the latest version of the app is also available on Softpedia, so you can download Destroy Windows 10 Spying right now and address this privacy problem on Windows 10 once and for all. Keep in mind that creating a backup could keep you on the safe side in case something unexpected happens.
