WindowsSpyBlocker 🛡 is an application written in Go and delivered as a single executable to block spying and tracking on Windows systems ⛔️.

The approach of this project is to capture and interpret network traffic 🚦 based on a set of tools. Depending on the interactions ⛓ between services and source or destination of traffic, rules are created and sorted by assignment.

WPD is broken down into four categories; Privacy, Firewall, Apps, and Tweaker and the main interface lets you know how many issues there are or if there are settings that need to be adjusted.

Changelog

Highlights

    New color: A new look to privacy.sexy with changed colors.
    Auto-updates: On desktop version, user experience for handling automatic updates is improved with a progress bar and confirmation dialogs. Auto-updates did not work on macOS because privacy.sexy is not a signed application, now a workaround is implemented so the update-flow is semi-automatic.
    No more Defender on Windows: Defender can be disabled again on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. At the time of writing, privacy.sexy is the only open-source application that can do it.
    First-class citizen PowerShell: PowerShell is now first-class citizen. Now PowerShell can be written in collection files without escaping/inlining and it will automatically be converted to calls from batch files. Templating is improved heavily to support it. pipes and with syntax is added. They enable most of new functionality such as disabling Defender and disabling per-user services.

Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows 10 is a small utility designed to block and stop the various tracking (aka telemetry) issues that come with Windows 10.

Seeing the bunch of incomplete or broken scripts to disable tracking in Windows 10, and the tools that install adware or worse in exchange for their function, we wrapped disabling tracking up in a small tool that's free and clean. Might or might not become part of the next Spybot, since it's similar to immunization, but it's needed now, and it's still work in progress as more and more information evolves.

Changelog

    New Protection:

    Mozilla Firefox Sponsored Sites
    Microsoft Active Protection Service (previously SpyNet)
    Dell SmartByte Telemetry
    COMODO Internet Security Telemetry
