    Question about Spybot Anti-beacon; leave running or use once?


    I can't actually seem to find an answer anywhere looking it up, but when I run Spybot Antibeacon to block windows 10 telemetry stuff, do I need to leave the program up and running or can I close it once run?

    Answer is don't use such tools

    This type of tool causes so many issues - forums are littered people say "I cannot upgrade even though I have uninstalled xxxx tool".

    Just turn off all privacy options and stop believing the endless bullshit about spyware.
