Microsoft Windows may have got more advanced but the need for effective maintenance is greater than ever. If you don`t houseclean your computer system regularly the digital garbage that collects over time makes it slower and can even cause inexplicable errors - usually when you need them least.

AntiSpy Module: A growing number of Windows services and application programs like to “phone home” and inform Microsoft or their manufacturers about a variety of things, ranging from crash reports to user behavior. Many users don`t like this and at least want to be able to choose whether these programs should do this or not. The new AntiSpy module provides settings that let you control the “spying” behavior of both Windows and these programs. Configuration options are included for a number of Windows system settings, Windows Media Player, the Windows error reporting service and others.
