Re: O&O ShutUp10++ – Free anti-spy tool for Windows 10, 11
#22Free as in beer. I wouldn't trust such an intrusive proprietary application on my machine from a vendor who doesn't need to care about its reputation.
I've not done any in-depth analysis of this app, but have used it on a machine that required windows 10 at the time. My family and friends have also used it. I can say that after they use it, the DNS activity to the Microsoft tracking endpoints appears to stop and other DNS activity is reduced but I am no windows expert so I can not say for sure if 100% of telemetry is truly nullfied. The real time dependencies on the activity DNS/HTTPS endpoints does appear to be removed after usage. From a network perspective it does stop the "chattyness" of Windows 10.

#23Fedora is my preferred solution to this problem.

Had the same thought, but upon investigation I don't see the incentive for the vendor to do something shady with it. They have a clear business model: Develop software for Windows that companies need. See their About page: https://www.oo-software.com/en/company Hence, it is clear what benefit they draw from releasing this software for free: Marketing. They are not in the business of brokering user data or mining bitc…
> I don't see the incentive for the vendor to do something shady with it. Now. It is not a matter of having incentives. It is a matter that they can abuse and you simply have no way to check or control it.
Incentives are literally just reasons for doing things. So naturally I don't follow your logic at all.

#25I wonder how long they will stay a "Gold Microsoft Partner" after this.
Iirc this software exist since the release of windows 10, or maybe shortly after, so I guess they can stay "gold partner" forever. There is probably nothing in that program attempting to prevent them to release that kind of software, and MS is not Apple...

No Windows Update for you, so security is debatable.

If you have trouble opening any reddit website on mobile change "www" with just the letter 'i' or 'old'.
Once they don't allow these workarounds I am leaving reddit for good.

This looks interesting. Is there something like a Vagrant build image for this so that you can easily automate the build process to pick up the updates and adjust the configuration/customization in a json or yaml file?

I mean, it doesn't make much sense to replace an abusive feature with a software that has the same abusive potential.
If it was open source, then maybe there would be some reason to trust it.
