    Hello Friends.
    Last year, Microsoft released windows 10 (free upgrade for Windows 7 Genuine users). I was unable to upgrade because my windows 7 was activated using Windows Loader by Daz. Since it was failure to upgrade due to activation key (because my windows 7 was activated using loader) , I decided to stop trying it and sick with windows 7.
    So, after following many steps provided by users and experts here, I uninstalled windows 10 related updates and other windows 10 related files from my pc. Those steps were asked by me just to remove windows 10 related things from my pc. It was not about removing spying things.
    But, Now, I think and afraid that Microsoft may be spying on me? To confirm about it, and to remove the spying (if it is there) what should I do?

    Thanks.
    -Amit

    Stop doing bad things on your PC and they won't send the MiB around to get you

    Microsoft is going to spy on you.
    Not much you can do.
    Install a version of Linux if you don't like it.

    Some others that are spying on you are: Your internet provider, your cable tv provider, Google, Amazon, Facebook, The Government.
    Best just to unhook and hide in a tent in the woods somewhere.

    In my opinion, internet providers are keeping the most sensitive information :(

    I highly doubt they would be watching you :p:p. Microsoft has too much things to work about then going device to device checking activation. :tea:

    Everybody is spying on you. You are low on milk and you should be buying cage-free eggs.

    No worries, Mate
    Someone is always spying on us for their own reasons...
    Some spy to target us with advertising...
    Governments spy on everyone...
    Just accept it and secure the best you can...
    Staying offline won't assure privacy either due to advances
    in technology not yet shared with us by mr. snowden...

    Life is a temporary assignment... don't worry- be happy...:)
