xp-AntiSpy is a little utility designed to tweak and optimize your Windows installation.

There are basically 6 categories full of options to be used by any user: MediaPlayer Functions, Miscellaneous Settings, Network, Internet Explorer, Services, Tweaks.

They basically add an additional layer of protection to your system and allow you to disable autorun function, to enable fast shutdown, to deactivate scripting host and to show all file extensions by default or clean the history of recently used applications.

Network zone of settings let you hide your computer name on the network and disable network crawling, while settings for Media Player and Internet Explorer helps you make them more secure and less data leaking software.

There are many useless services that load at startup and lag your Windows performance. You can safely disable them from here.

Each option comes with some quick informations at the bottom of the XP-Antispy’s window to help you take the best decision.

If you are an unexperienced user, you are advised to use the ‘suggested’ profile of this program and not to disable too many things before asking some professional persons.

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.
