“Destroy Windows 10 Spying” Can Now Destroy Windows 7 Spying Too

[Karamjit]

Update brings support for the latest Windows 7 updates

If data collection in Windows 10 is one of your main concerns, then you probably already know that there are a lot of apps out there which can help you with that and block the operating system from sending any of your own information to Microsoft.

Destroy Windows 10 Spying is one of these apps, and just like its name says, it's supposed to block all tracking services that might be keeping an eye on your activity and send information of any type to the company.

An update released today makes it possible for Destroy Windows 10 Spying to block tracking services in Windows 7 and 8.1 as well, services which aren't entirely new but have recently been re-enabled with a bunch of updates on both Windows versions.

Block Windows 7 tracking services

As we've told you during the week, some of the updates that Microsoft shipped to Windows 7 and 8.1 re-enable the upgrade to Windows 10 notification, but also data tracking services, which is clearly a problem for privacy-obsessed users.

So Destroy Windows 10 Spying version 1.5 build 500 can help you with that too and, in addition, it also brings some improvements for its UI when launched on Windows 7 and 8.1. And last but not least, it also comes with some other optimizations and bug fixes, so after updating, everything should be working more smoothly than before regardless of your Windows OS version.

Needless to say, this little app proves to be really helpful when trying to deal with these privacy concerns in the new OS version, so just download Destroy Windows 10 Spying to see what it is all about.

Remember that Microsoft itself warned that this kind of apps should not be used because they might affect the performance or reliability of Windows 10 or some of its features, so make sure you create a backup before anything else, just to be on the safe side.
