Many of these settings are already set up when Windows is installed, and it's still not clear how much Windows 10/11 will send out usage data. Are you sure you want Windows 10 to be able to see your emails, calendar, location, and a lot of other settings? You decide what to do with Ashampoo AntiSpy Pro for Windows® 11 and Windows® 10. It's easy to get to all of your choices. 

Ashampoo AntiSpy Pro for Windows® 11/10 shows you a list of all the important system settings and lets you turn them off one by one. With the two settings that come with it, you can choose not to report anything to Microsoft or follow the advice of Ashampoo's security experts. 

If you use Windows 11 or 10, you can get a virtual helper called Cortana that can help you with some things in your daily life. Windows 10 needs to gather a lot of information in order to do this. Microsoft admits that it also looks at user data to show ads that are more relevant to each person. That's why Windows 10 is set to gather more information than many users would want. In the end, even the suggested fast installation says: You'll have to turn off a setting by hand if you don't want it. 

Key Features

  • Protection against tracking with just one click 
  • Maximum privacy and security against reports of unwanted use 
  • Turn off more than 100 services and apps 
  • As much as possible, turn off Windows 10/11 tracking. 
  • Stop Google, Office, Bing, hardware makers, and many more from watching your activity. 
  • Auto-launch with Windows to keep your files safe forever 
  • Easily undo changes right away 
  • Relentless against unwanted user profiles 
  • One license will let you put Ashampoo® AntiSpy Pro on up to 10 PCs at home if you use it that way. If you buy it once, your whole family can use a safer Windows system. Only if you use the software for business will you need a different license for each installation. 

As long as Windows 11 or 10 is set to its default settings, many services will collect information about how programs are used, errors that happen, and the specific interests of users. This information helps comfort tools like Cortana work (whether you use them or not), reports errors to Microsoft, and makes it possible for ads to be very specific to you. A lot of people think this is a threat to their privacy and feel like their PCs are watching them. 

Note: Test drive for 10 days (can be increased to 30 days).
