Since installing Windows 10, I have used Spybot Anti-Beacon as a possible safeguard, but wonder how effective it actually is?

 

Does anybody know?

I think it's effective, for what it is meant to do. It gets good reviews. I've been using it.

 

It's really just one step/process/program to potentially protect/shield data/information.

 

There's a gazillion Youtube videos, howto articles re: setting up Win10 to shield privacy, speed it up, etc.
