Product: Spybot Anti-Beacon (Stand-Alone Exe)

Stopping Windows' telemetry

  1.  Description



    1. 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. With the upcoming news about telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1, Spybot Anti-Beacon has added support for those as well.

      Supported OS: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11
