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? This utility 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.
What's new:
· This version fixes a bug with the activation of the firewall service on windows 7.

What's new:
· This version fixes a bug with the activation of the firewall service on windows 7.
· The window size and position now will be saved on program termination and will be restored on program start again.
· Added a setting that prevents windows from displaying the number of unread mails in your inbox. This only takes effect if you are using one of the Microsoft products like Outlook Express for your mail box.
· The main effort in this new version is the correct detection of the settings in "Windows 7".
