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

 - Änderung der Reihenfolge im Zuge der Ermittlung der Benutzer-SID. Zunächst wird nun versucht, diese per "whoami" zu ermitteln und nur im Fehlerfall wird die Registry genutzt. Dieses hat den positiven Effekt, dass beim Start der Anwendung im Benutzerkontext keine UAC-Abfrage mehr hochkommt. Herzlichen Dank an dieser Stelle an Sopor für die sich etwas aufwändiger gestaltete Problemanalyse! 😁
- Integration des Menüpunktes "Datei -> Beenden"


Change of order in the course of determining the user SID. First an attempt is now made to determine this via "whoami" and the registry is only used in the event of an error. This has the positive effect that when the application is started in the user context, there is no longer a UAC query. At this point, many thanks to Sopor for the problem analysis, which was a bit more complex!
