xpy is a small tool which disables the default threats of a windows xp installation. besides the classic antispy features, xpy closes recent security holes like the remote procure call (rpc) service and the distributed component object model (dcom).
License: Freeware
Download: xpy 0.86
features:
• disable windows "calling home"
• disable questionable services
• disarm internet explorer
• disarm windows media player
• remove windows messenger
• improve security
• improve performance
todo:
• new features
• bugfixing
though xpy is smaller than 60 kilobytes, it can close serious threats on long distance, where large service-packs can only protect you until a new security hole has been found.
make sure you carefully choose the settings you want to apply, to avoid problems. if you experience trouble, refer to the frequently asked questions or report a bug on sourceforge.
to translate xpy into your language, you just need to download the sourcecode and create a new textfile using any text editor.
