xpy is a small program which will disable the default threats of your 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 security software: xpy 0.9.4
Developer: jan t. sott
though xpy is smaller than 70 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.
Key features:
· disable windows "calling home"
· disable questionable services
· unarm internet explorer
· unarm media player
· remove windows messenger
· improve security
· improve performance
xpy is currently available in two versions, Redistributable and Monolingual. The Redistributable build includes all available languages and is intended for distribution on offline-media (i.e. CD-ROM) or Intranet, while the Monolingual builds try to save bandwidth for fastest possible download speed. |
