An article warning about unexpected/undesired Windows 10 downloads/installs was posted to FR 2-3- weeks ago.

Looks like it may be happening now.

If anyone is interested in how invasive Win 10 really is. Take a look at this video. When you first see this guy, you may think he’s some babbling YouTube kid who thinks he’s a computer guru and perhaps a joke. He’s not, this is one smart dude. He worked for Microsoft as a programmer for 15 years but was laid off when MS cut their workforce prior to Windows 10 being rolled out. He talks VERY fast but plain. If you can stick with it, he’ll show you some things about Windows 10 that will make you say....WHAT THE HELL?

I know...A lot of so called computer gurus claim they work or worked for MS. Ever heard of Spybot? The bottom link is a link to Spybot. They have a program that keeps Win 10 spying down to a minimum but you need to know how to use it. They have a link to this guy’s site as he gives and in depth tutorial.

This really isn’t for the beginner. Even the tech savvy will be tested on this.

After using Microsoft products for almost 30 years, I guess it’s time to give them the old heave-ho. Wouldn’t be the first time a tech company has gotten too big for its britches. Anyone remember Alta-Vista? It was the most popular search engine on the net, by far, until it decided the world couldn’t do without it and it decided it could start charging users for each search they did. That’s when Google took off.
