xpy is a small tool which disables the default threats of a Windows XP installation. Besides the classic antispy features, it closes recent security holes like the remote procure call (rpc) service and the distributed component object model (dcom).

    This app is great. If you aren't an experienced computer user, please, don't download it, don't use it, and certainly don't rate it badly just because you are an idiot.

    Awesome! Does exactly what it says and is clear enough in it's functionality for those experienced enough to be using it. It can be run silently and you can write a command script to remove it afterwards. The author is friendly and quick to respond to questions.

    Offers only poor explanations of what changes are to be made, and no undo is provided. (I don't consider a Restore Point an "undo".)

    Offers to make changes that don't even apply to the system (e.g. lets you disable time synchronization, even if the Windows Time service isn't installed to begin with).

    Leaves behind an INI file. (What idiots will typically do is pretend that I'm making a huge deal about this INI file, rather than simply mentioning it.)

    Oh, I understand the program, I just have standards.
