Hi, and apologies if this has been brought up before.
Since installing Anti-Beacon V1.5 I found that when I tried to rip CDs using Windows Media Player and clicked on "Get Album Info", instead of getting all the album info, a window opened saying "Unable to display http://redir.metaservices.microsoft.com. After playing around with the Anti-Beacon options, I found that disabling the immunization on "Telemetry Hosts" solved the problem. Is there a work around for this problem or do I have to forgo immunization of "Telemetry Hosts" to allow access to the fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com database.

So I have a problem and I need some help. I've been using this program on my new Win10 Laptop for the past week, but I've come to find out I can't download apps or play certain games when all is immunized. I've disabled some of the Telemetry Hosts and it helped a bit, but I still can't download apps. When I try to undo the immunization on all the Telemetry Hosts it freezes the program, I thought maybe leaving it for a while would fix it but it didn't. The Hosts may not be the problem if you guys have had trouble with this and have found a solution please let me know! Thanks! :)
Is it just for Win10? Has it always been that way? Do you got a suggestion of something to keep me safe from telemetry and other malware stuff being sneaked thru Windows Update on Win7?
Sorry for the first bit, somehow I missed the "supported OS" thing.
So let me reformulate my other question: Is this enough to keep my system safe from MS spyware, and the other malware stuff they've been sneaking on Windows Update, or do I still need to be careful with which updates I install?
Meanwhile, I found this: https://voat.co/v/Ancile
Seems promising; well, at least until MS switches WU to cumulative mode.
I've tried undoing all Anti-Beacon settings, but these two from the Optional settings you see in the attachment don't seem to be working. I click "undo" and nothing happens. Could you please help?
Hey, I just got windows 10 and Spybot anti-beacon installer 1.5.0.35. When I try having the program do anything with the Telemetry Hosts, it stops responding. I have tried restarting my computer to see if I might of had something running in the background that was using the file its trying to change but still does the same thing.
So, I went to where the ect folder and opened hosts in notepad and entered the list of sites/addresses to reroute to 0.0.0.0 but when I try to save the file it wont let me. Which brings me here now hoping someone else is able to help me with this issue.
