Preventing Microsoft from Tracking.


                 Microsoft with the launch of Windows 10, users started having many problem such as low boot time, wifi connectivity problems and one of the main problem is the privacy for some users. Recently a firm has developed a new tool that can stop Microsoft from Tracking.

                    Microsoft admits that they are collecting information from the user machine to give better experience to the users by collecting the telemetry data. Many users tried to stop the tracking option but many stated that they failed to disable it.

                     There has been many third party softwares that can be used to diable the tracking of Microsoft through Windows 10. One among them is #DoNotSpy (Explained in earlier post).

                     A new tool has been released in the name #Spybot-Anti Beacon from a security firm Spybot. This tool can be used to disable the tracking of telemetry data.

                     The tool is free to use and can be installed and on running the tool tracking of telemetry data can be disabled.

                     If the user is not comfortable with the new tool the tool also has the option of undo the changes and once undo has been done the tracking will be enabled.

                     Microsoft started the automatic upgrading of Windows 7 8 8.1 to Windows 10 and the tool can be used for disabling the tracking by Microsoft.

                      The tool #Spybot Anti-Beacon can be downloaded from their website.

                      The Author is not responsible for any damage done by running the tool and the user is solely responsible for the execution of the tool.

P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
