DoNotSpy78

The tracking and telemetry settings in Windows 10 have triggered a long-debated controversy related to privacy violation, which made security-concerned users stay pat with older iterations of the operating system.

Even so, Microsoft has rolled out a few updates for Windows 7 and 8 in the fall of 2015 that include data collection and behavior tracking features, all under the same pretext: to enhance the user experience. Some of the updates in question are optional, but some are ‘recommended’, which means they are installed if Windows Updates is set to 'Automatic'.

If you are one of the users who decided to stick with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and wants to stay in control of your computer’s privacy settings, you can try out DoNotSpy78.

Key Features:

• One-click access to privacy and security settings

• Configure Internet Explorer for privacy settings


• Grant full control over privacy-related settings

DoNotSpy78 is very similar to DoNotSpy10, aiming to grant full control over privacy-related settings in Windows. It is easy to use, does not require a system reboot, and comprises enough functions to help those who installed those controversial updates in the fall of 2015. However, as it happens with DoNotSpy10, it does not guarantee that Microsoft won’t receive any data from your computer, especially if you install updates to come.
