MSFT continues to remind us of an old sci-fi movie...

Maybe not so sci-fi...

 

Colossus: The Forbin Project(1970)

Thinking this will prevent war, the US government gives an impenetrable supercomputer total control over launching nuclear missiles. But what the computer does with the power is unimaginable to its creators.

Storyline

Forbin is the designer of an incredibly sophisticated computer that will run all of America's nuclear defenses. Shortly after being turned on, it detects the existence of Guardian, the Soviet counterpart, previously unknown to US Planners. Both computers insist that they be linked, and after taking safeguards to preserve confidential material, each side agrees to allow it. As soon as the link is established the two become a new Super computer and threaten the world with the immediate launch of nuclear weapons if they are detached. Colossus begins to give its plans for the management of the world under its guidance. Forbin and the other scientists form a technological resistance to Colossus which must operate underground.

NEW ADDITION:

Blackbird v6 v0.9.8.2

Blackbird was designed to alleviate spending hours on tweaking your privacy settings by using some known and less-known techniques to fully disarm Windows without leaving behind even the smallest possible footprint.
There are other tools that claim to block Windows spying but they are cumbersome to use and not as powerful or are limited in scope. So the author took Windows apart, piece by piece, analyzed web traffic, system calls, file changes,etc., compared different configurations, designed and built a stand-alone tool and spent hundreds of hours on beta testing so anyone can use it and it gets the job done right. 
 
Block Windows spyware, on both the application and network level, with dynamic filtering and without editing the HOSTS file or firewall settings as well as preventing diagnostic, password, contact, URL, SMS, handwritting, location, and P2P-update sharing. 
Updated frequently and regularly, as long as Windows gets updates so will Blackbird.
Blackbird Features:
Disables OneDrive
Disables Cortana
Disables Bing-integration
Disables Wi-Fi Sense
Disables system-wide Telemetry on all Windows versions
Disables Xbox Live services
Disables web content evaluation / URL check-in ("SmartScreen")
Disables Windows Media Online DRM
Disables Windows P2P Update sharing
Disables all application metric collection agents
Disables all AutoLoggers
Disables start menu ads
Prevents all location/contacts/handwritting/password sharing
Prevents cross-device synchronization
Patches various data-leaks (IE/EDGE/Defender/Explorer/MRT)
Removes Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)
Disables Diagnostic Tracking / "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" service
Disables WAP-push Message Routing service
Removes your unique Ad-ID tracking token
Removes Windows 10 upgrade setup files on Vista, 7, 8, 8.1
Removes a bunch of Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 telemetry updates 
Blocks 100+ different Microsoft tracking/telemetry/ad servers (supports IPv6/IPv4, Wifi/Eth)
bonus (some) Youtube, Skype, Facebook ads blocked
 
Blackbird can also be used via CMD Prompt with the following switches available:
 
blackbird -v > Verbose mode. Displays additional information on all changes as they're being made.
blackbird -s > Silent mode. No additional user interaction required, good for scripts.
blackbird -r > Recovery mode. Restores all values changed by Blackbird to default Microsoft values.
blackbird -k > Kill Cortana completely (prevent searchUI.exe from loading).
blackbird -d > Disable Windows Defender.
blackbird -h > Disable Hibernation (deletes hiberfil.sys file).
blackbird -u > Disable automatic installation of updates / Sets to manual download and install only.
blackbird -m > Disable automatic installation of Windows Malicious Removal Tool (MRT) updates.
blackbird -? > Displays help information.

From official thread:

"With the upcoming news about telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1, Spybot Anti-Beacon has added support for those as well.

Supported OS: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10"

 

Could you ad the compatibility for old Windows versions on first page please ?

 

W10Privacy is also compatible with windows 8 and 8.1 (no informations for 7)
