Ashampoo AntiSpy Pro: privacy tool to stop telemetry and tracking on Windows

Ashampoo AntiSpy Pro is a dedicated privacy manager from Ashampoo that helps users limit data collection on Windows and by third-party software. Designed as a complement to antivirus suites, it focuses on disabling telemetry, trackers and diagnostic data flows across Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7 as well as common apps and services.

One‑click privacy and granular controls

The app offers an approachable interface with a prominent one‑click mode to disable data collection in more than 100 places system‑wide. For power users it provides fine‑grained toggles so you can enable or disable individual services, telemetry endpoints, preinstalled OEM tools, browser and Office telemetry, and analytics from providers like Google and Bing.

What AntiSpy Pro blocks and manages

• Windows telemetry and diagnostic data flows, including optional features like Cortana and usage reporting.
• Telemetry and tracking from third‑party apps, browsers and cloud services.
• Preinstalled vendor tools and manufacturer analytics often shipped on new systems.
• Settings to auto‑start AntiSpy Pro so protections persist across sessions.
• Easy rollback for changes so you can restore default behavior if needed.

Licensing, trial and support details

Ashampoo sells AntiSpy Pro as a 1‑year subscription with options for household use on up to 10 PCs under a single private‑use license. The vendor offers a 30‑day free trial download and a 30‑day money‑back guarantee. Customer ratings on the official site show a mix of reviews with many users reporting positive experiences controlling telemetry.

• Users who want a quick, centralized way to reduce Windows telemetry without diving into registry edits or group policy.
