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?
xp-AntiSpy was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended.
This utility is DONATIONWARE! This means, you don't have to pay anything for this program and you can give it to anyone who's interested in it, as long as you don't sell it. If you find this tool useful, and wanna gimme something back, think about donating a small amount of money.
What's New in xp-AntiSpy 3.97.3 :
· Added setting to disable the "customer experience improvement program (ceip)" that comes with Windows. This setting is only displayed if this 'service' is enabled (It's disabled by default).
· Updated setting to disable Java Script functionality in Acrobat Reader.
· Updated the Internet Explorer settings to also work on version 8.
· Added setting to disable the "Suggested Sites" feature of theInternet Explorer 8

Only been using XP for a few months. I found this utility highly usefull.
I for one am tired of Micro-spy and their auto everything on.
Does it deal with Dr. Watson (dw.exe) and the Error Reporting Service. This is causing issues for Office users all over the Internet. It is also "bundled" with Microsoft Money. Go to microsoft.office.word.application.errorss or similar newsgroup for more information.
