xpy is a small program which disables the default threats of your Windows XP installation. Besides the classic antispy features, disabling Windows and some of its components to communicate with Microsoft servers, xpy improves privacy settings and your system's security, closes recent security holes like the remote procure call (rpc) service and the distributed component object model (dcom). Though xpy is smaller than 100 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.


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.

Features:
• disable windows "calling home"
• disable questionable services
• disarm internet explorer
• disarm windows media player
• remove windows messenger
