| 1407573 | 2015-08-31 23:22:00 | From one of the links in this thread... "While I can understand and appreciate people’s concerns over privacy issues, I believe that users are generally overreacting to a lot of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) that has been written about Microsoft’s data collection policies. " and.. "I might add that all this is not new; similar concerns were raised way back when Vista was released: 20+ Windows Vista Features and Services Harvest User Data for Microsoft. " Who knows what the truth really is This sort of thing happened back in Win95 btw, when caught there was an official ~oops, how did that happen ~ So if really concerned, then dont use ANY MS product, or Apple, or Goggle/gmail/chrome, or Android (the worst) Me, I'll just stick a 3rd party firewall on my Win7 ,and see what pops up. Any suggestions which firewall to install? |

| 1407575 | 2015-09-01 00:35:00 | All the more reason for keeping updates turned off. My W7's had the updates disabled after Sp1. At one stage I used Zone alarm fire wall, and then Comodo. Is it worth the hassle of training another fire wall? | mzee (3324) | ||

I'm using Tinywall on W7 to control the outgoing stuff, and I have installed it on my W10 Insider as well. Whether it will stop the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry data, and that sort of thing, if I want it to, who knows? Does anyone know? I am impressed by that picture of Wainuitech's, with Smart Security 8 doing just that! |

| 1407579 | 2015-09-01 07:54:00 | Right at the moment I hope MS are collecting data -- Some damn windows update just went in, and all hell has broken lose - everything is crashing, programs not opening, even CMD wouldn't open in safe mode, was going fine last night till the update went in. I've removed it, made it a bit better, at least now its usable. Now to fix it fully -- Just as well I know how. ;) So MS collect this --- Fix the heap of ****en crap you call windows 10 :mad::mad: Good time to change my Sig as well :D |

| 1407582 | 2015-09-01 21:33:00 | A week or 2 after the 1st service pack releaseNo service packs with Windows 10, instead it's constantly updated. I don't buy all this FUD though. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
