Ashampoo AntiSpy is yet another Windows 10 privacy protector
German developer Ashampoo has shipped Ashampoo AntiSpy for Windows 10, yet another free tool for tweaking Windows 10’s many privacy and security settings.
There’s support for tweaking 40+ options covering browsing, updates, location features, webcam/ microphone access, Cortana, Contacts and Calendar, and assorted telemetry settings.
Experts can toggle each setting individually, and there are also options to disable everything, or all but a few core technologies.
Safety features include a prompt to create a System Restore point before you start, and an option to restore the default Windows settings if everything goes wrong.
The interface is simple and straightforward, and as it’s just a single 279KB executable, AntiSpy is easy to carry around.
Ashampoo AntiSpy for Windows 10 isn’t exactly revolutionary, but it’s a good example of the type, which offers plenty of control over your settings, and can help you recover if you accidentally disable something important. Give it a try, if you’re interested -- or just wait a week or two, there will probably be something similar along very soon.
