    Question about Spybot Anti-beacon; leave running or use once?


    I can't actually seem to find an answer anywhere looking it up, but when I run Spybot Antibeacon to block windows 10 telemetry stuff, do I need to leave the program up and running or can I close it once run?

    :)

    0x80004004 & 0x80080017 in Windows Defender

    1. Where/how & when did you obtain "Windows 10 LTSB?"

    2. Did you format the HDD prior to installing "Windows 10 LTSB?"

    3. When did you disable Windows Defender by using "Destroy Windows Telemetry" [AKA Spybot Anti-Beacon]?

    4. Have considered following the directions?...


    5. Did the ASUS computer come with WinXP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 preinstalled when you bought it "~12 years ago?"

    Question about Spybot Anti-beacon; leave running or use once?

    Answer is don't use such tools

    This type of tool causes so many issues - forums are littered people say "I cannot upgrade even though I have uninstalled xxxx tool".

    Just turn off all privacy options and stop believing the endless bullshit about spyware.
