xp-AntiSpy The 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?

As the spy versus spy battle rages on we have decided not to take sides, but to merely document the battlefield.

ID-Blaster Home In Windows, many applications have something called a
"product ID number", a "GUID" or a "Unique ID number". This number may be the
same through Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player - even the operating system
itself.
Since this number nevers changes, it would be the PERFECT way a malicious person
or even an advertising company could track your habits. Maybe through a
malicious website ActiveX control, or java applet.
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever
being installed.
How? By setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it
prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage. You can run Internet
Explorer with Active-X enabled, but you will never even get a "Yes/No" box
popped up, asking you to install a spyware Active-X control (Internet Explorer
will never download or run it!). All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will
work fine.
The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these known spyware Active-X
controls. Make sure you run the Check For Updates feature frequently to get the
latest database! (And make sure you check the new items to protect your system
against them!)
