Skynet on Windows would be like a human on grain alcohol.
Two programs I reccomend are CCleaner at piriform.com/ccleaner/download and mru-blaster.com Mru-Blaster cleans all the sleeper ccokies out. I use both of them every night at shutdown.
Wow! You have talent. Have considered wedding photography?
Thank you for the tip. I will grab those babies tomorrow.
I’ve tried to get in off and on over the years even as a second. No dice there either or as a videographer.
Thank you for the kind words though.
Years ago through some small job farming website I picked up being a contributor for a lawn and garden person. Whoever it was wanted shots of nice yards and the like. He liked my work and paid X per photo. No great sum but it meant a lot to me. I was one of apparently several and all of the photos were on a website.
A couple months in I was contacted saying as much as my stuff was liked, other contributors complained I was too good. A few months later the operation folded.

JV16 Power Tools is working on various improvements to it’s current system which are intended to turn off ALL of Microsoft’s spying and reporting software.
However once the new version is released, free for current users, I am sure that Microsoft will come up with new ways to send out the data.
This says nothing about all the back doors you know who have mandated into all of the current OSes they can get their hands on. Due to various laws in effect “you know who” is capable of exerting pressure on the software authors to install access for them.
There is absolutely NO WAY to ensure that any OS is secure from snooping, even Open Source such as Linux is subject to modification by some of the people working on it being coerced into planting the tools, back doors, and access points.
For those interested in JC16 Power tools and what they are working on to remove all the spyware:

I once considered wedding videography (which is harder than still in some respects). As practice, I shot a wedding for a friend.
One cool trick was to put a microphone/recorder on the bride and groom while they were at the receiving line. With Vegas, of course, I was able to sync and splice the audio into the video so that you could clearly hear the conversations between the bride and groom and all of the guests while the video played. Turned out very nicely.
Another thing that would be cool is to set up five microphones at strategic locations in the church. One near the bride and groom. Then record the audio combine it into 5.1 surround sound (in Vegas, of course). This would take a little skill and practice. The play back in a home theater might be pretty cool with the spacial sense of surround sound. Imagine clearly hearing the bride and groom and pastor/priest, the organ, etc. This all takes a lot of effort and time and the ROI might not be enough to justify it.
If I were going to do wedding video, I would get three identical cameras and dedicated mics on each one.
I’d have a stand alone digital audio recorder as well.
Without a crew, one camera would be a wide safety locked down. The others I’d would preferably put on remote control mounts.
It can get pricey and maybe overkill but I like to get things as right as I can. I’ve heard enough bridezilla and mother of bridezilla stories.
A lot of hardware to manage. Expensive is correct. And some churches (pastors and priests) don’t like cameras. Some don’t allow cameras at all. And then fighting with the wedding party and families.
The ROI might be difficult and the hassle not worth it.
yes I figure they are collecting data always.
I learned firsthand about churches and cameras. The one I got married in permits them but NO flash.
Once upon a time having a video production setup to do multicamera was worth it. I can’t see it now, especially with all of the smart phones.
Yup. You set up the picture and 20 people shoot the picture from behind you. Worst of all, someone will shut their eyes when you do take your picture because of the 20 flashes going off at approx. the same time.
