Ashampoo Antispy

Although it's not intentional, certain Windows features act as spyware, especially if we are talking about Win 10. They may have been designed as features that "enhance the user experience" or at the very least "the good kind of spyware", but spyware is still spyware and privacy comes first. Ashampoo Antispy can help you control numerous features that collect information about you or perform other actions which can be considered intrusive.

Ashampoo Antispy is offered specifically for Windows 10, as a freeware application. It comes as a single executable file, which you can run straight away, without going through an installation process. Furthermore, there is no need to install any prerequisite tools and you won't have to sacrifice too many resources.

The application's compact user interface presents a long list of toggles for all sorts of features which may affect your privacy. All you have to do is click the toggles next to the features you want to disable. The effects are instantaneous, so you don't have to wait for a progress bar to fill or restart the computer.

The listed options are categorized based on what features they affect. You can find options for preventing apps from using your webcam or microphone, using your location and more. You can disable these features one by one, but a faster way is to select a preset in a drop menu, in the upper right corner of the interface. With a single click, you can disable a large number of features, according to a recommended set of configurations.

If you consider the new Windows 10 a bit too curios about yourself, you can protect your privacy with Ashampoo Antispy.
