xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication 'features' in WindowsXP.

For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended.

This utility is DONATIONWARE! This means, you don't have to pay anything for this program and you can give it to anyone who's interested in it, as long as you don't sell it. If you find this tool useful, and wwant to give something back, think about donating a small amount of money. Thanks...Chris.

What changed:

• Reworked setting Hide shortcut arrow because it was not always working on 64bit systems.
• Removed setting Deny access to 16-Bit-Applications from Suggested profile
• Fixed several errors occurring on 64bit systems
• Added Feature:
• The menu Profiles now contains the entry Check profile at logon. If there?s a check mark in front of, the xp-AntiSpy will check the current selected profile everytime you logon to your system. If a setting does not conform to that profile you will be presented a dialog window, asking to reapply the profile.

Added feature:

• Due to the amount of settings in the xp-AntiSpy it get?s complicated if you look for a special one. So I added a search field which can be enabled by selecting the menu Special>Show search field. Once you enter a search term it will be searched in all setting names and the according info text for that setting. Then only the matching settings will be presented to you in the overview. To reset the search, just press the escape key.

Website Upgrade: 10 years of xp-AntiSpy
Posted on November 9, 2011 7:25 pm by chris

Today the xp-AntiSpy turned 10 years old. And I thought the Website could use a little redesign. Also I switched from using Joomla! as CMS to WordPress, because I got more comfortable with it in the last years.
The artwork for this Site was done by my close friend NeNAD, a graphic designer. He runs the Site 3volt.de. Big thanks to him for this work!

As always, I llook forward on you feeback about this redesign. Maybe I missed out on something. This site was tested on Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 7 and Safari 5 but it should look good on all modern browsers.

Best regards, -chris-
