    Question Open to be running?

    Does Spybot Anti beacon have to be open for it to be working? Do I have to actually start it for it to work?

    That doesnt work either, I even copied the file then made the changes and tried to replace the old unchanged file but then tells me I dont have the permissions to do so even though my account is the only admin account on the computer.

    and spybot is able to change it ?! if you cancel host tweak in spybot it resets the file ?
    may be a problem account but if spybot can do it and you not....

    Is there an ETA for Anniversary-Update-ready Anti-Beacon? I can't update my Win10 without Anti-Beacon!

    Default Minimize to tray

    I am unable to minimize Anti-Beacon to Windows tray.

    I have tried 3 different traying programs and A-B is the only one that refuses to tray.
    Any idea why and is there a way around this?

    Thanks.

    I am using AB in W7 (ShutUP in W10).

    None of the reasons you quote seems to justify the drawback of inability to traymin. The open button takes too much space on the task bar and I prefer it to take space in memory rather than there. All programs do that, so particularly one that just runs in the background should.

    ShutUP 10 sneaks up opencandy adware on the system.

    Thanks for the info. The question is what is worse: MS telemetry or ShutUp10 adware.


    Had I had minimal trust in MS I would have said at least telemetry can help improve Windows, but I don't have it.

    Does A-B work in W10?
