Spybot Anti-Beacon

Anti-Beacon is the #1 Privacy Protection tool which offers the highest level of protection in the easiest way possible.

Choosing from a range of presets allows the user to increase their protection with only a few extra clicks. All you have to do is select the desired preset, click “Apply” and you’re done.

Immunizers To keep your system safe and your privacy protected, Anti-Beacon provides a wide range of Immunization options. These Immunizers are a collection of configuration changes related to a specific Product or Service, i.e. Microsoft Cortana, Microsoft Recall. Each Immunizer, when enabled, will block the Telemetry for that specific product. To Permit the Telemetry, simply disable the Immunizer. This can be done by moving the slider to either the “Block” or “Permit” setting. The number of items related to each Immunizer are listed beside each Immunizer. You can view more detailed information about each Immunizer and what it specifically blocks by clicking on the desired Immunizer.

Live Monitor The Live Monitor feature gives you an insight into what is going on in your System, when you are unprotected. The Live Monitor tracks every attempted telemetry connection made by Microsoft and other companies, to give you an idea of how much data they are trying to take. Here at Safer-Networking, we are very conscious of the environment and contributing towards a sustainable future, for human and machine. For this reason, we have included a Carbon Emissions tracker to give you an indication of how much carbon is being used through each attempted connection and how much you can save by blocking them.

Refresh Immunizers Windows and other companies are constantly trying to revert the changes made by Anti-Beacon and similar software. Every time you restart your PC, Updates Windows or updates apps, or bring your laptop for a walk, some or all of the good work done by Anti-Beacon can be undone, without you knowing, leaving you unprotected when you thought the door was locked. By enabling the “Refresh Immunization at each logon” setting, this ensures that whenever you restart your PC, due to Windows Updates or otherwise, your Privacy Protection and Immunization will be refreshed so you won’t have to worry about being unprotected.
