Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows 10 is a small utility designed to block and stop the various tracking (aka telemetry) issues that come with Windows 10.

Seeing the bunch of incomplete or broken scripts to disable tracking in Windows 10, and the tools that install adware or worse in exchange for their function, we wrapped disabling tracking up in a small tool that's free and clean. Might or might not become part of the next Spybot, since it's similar to immunization, but it's needed now, and it's still work in progress as more and more information evolves.

Changelog

We are happy to announce the release of the latest version of Anti-Beacon!

Live Monitoring: Introducing the Live Monitoring Feature. Witness every move attempted by unimmunized trackers. It’s not just about privacy; it’s about reducing your carbon footprint by minimizing unnecessary data transmissions. Now, you can effortlessly visualize and halt intrusive telemetry connections in real-time, allowing you to regain control over your digital privacy.

New Immunizers: We’ve expanded our roster of blocked telemetry services to include: Opera SiteCheck, Game Analytics, Pushwoosh and Microsoft Edge Follow Creators.
With over 120 Immunizers, Anti-Beacon 4.1 takes privacy protection to a whole new level.
Each Immunizer acts as a guardian, shielding your telemetry data from prying eyes.

Multilingual Support: We’re breaking language barriers! Anti-Beacon now speaks your language, with support for over 20 languages. Your privacy, your way, in your preferred language.
