What is Spybot Anti-Beacon?

Spybot Anti-Beacon

Privacy protection moved to the spotlight ever since the release of Windows 10. The telemetry settings included in the latest OS iteration are supposedly designed to improve the overall experience, but more and more users are concerned about their private data and the way Microsoft uses it. As a consequence, the number of applications that can block tracking services are now increasing, and one of them goes by the name of Spybot Anti-Beacon.

Key Features:

• No installation required


• Simple to use


• Choice of settings


• Undo option available


• Block telemetry-related hosts and services


• Restrict telemetry group policy


• Block apps that use advertising ID

Optional Settings:

• Disable web search and Cortana


• Remove OneDrive


• Block remote registry service

Spybot Anti-Beacon is a new attempt to reach the privacy protection goal when using Windows 10, providing a quick and easy way to disable telemetry services, configure group policies, and block hosts.

However, there is still room for improvement to meet the users' requirements. At the moment, there are competitor applications that do more. For instance, it would be great to have the application disable the access of apps to wireless connections, block localization access and services, disable the automatic Windows updates, or the feedback reminders.
