whats best this program or Spybot Anti-Beacon

i use Spybot Anti-Beacon  but is open to try new things if program is good

Anti-Beacon is old and not updated in a long time, it still works but not updated for latest versions of windows.

Use

Destroy Windows Spying [DWS]

https://github.com/Nummer/Destroy-Windows-10-Spying/releases

 

Blackbird

http://www.getblackbird.net/

 

W10Privacy

http://www.winprivacy.de/deutsch-start/download/

 

And there is Also the WinTel script created by Cerberus which you will find inside the MultiOEM project!

I personally use DWS, Blackbird and WinTel all together.

I have been experimenting, as time allows, on doing a clean install of Windows (7, 8.1, and 10 Ent LTSB) and not allowing anything to have internet access via a firewall unless explicitly allowed.  It takes time to track things down and monitor connections, but in the end I believe I will be able to block the vast majority of connections that serve no useful purpose to the user, not only telemetry, but just plain useless connections.  The first thing I discovered was do not use any Microsoft browser and do not use Google or Comodo DNS servers.  The ISP provided DNS servers are much less intrusive and even then some ports can be blocked.  I decided on trying this approach because I can't trust third party developers to catch everything as has been proven in the plethora of so-called Windows privacy releases over the last 12 months.

WPD (Windows Privacy Dashboard) 

WPD (Windows Privacy Dashboard) is a small portable program for Windows 10, that will help turn off all telemetry services and tasks, and also adjust group policy to the highest possible confidentiality level. The program is free, it doesn't contain any advertisement or malicious code.
