    This must have a negative impact on Google from spying on you. Because they now block you from downloading this using Google Chrome. :rolleyes:




    All the more reason to use it ;)

    I would block a 500mb process with 1 tab open too.

    I've had these 3 blocked in hosts file for few months (which i do not think is working due to hardcoded whitelist by MS in .dll), but windows update has been working.

    Can these whitelisted domains be blocked successfully by using a firewall?

    Do you happen to know the location of the dll that's white listed by MS

    I found using this with hostman solved all my ad issues with Microsoft. Some of us want to use Microsoft Solitary, but without the ads.

    abelhadigital.com/hostsman

    Caution: Disable your DNS Client Service or your computer will become very slow and virtually unusable (this is due to your host file being a few MB's big).

    From there I added a few domain names to the exclusion list

    Code:
    download.windowsupdate.com
    update.microsoft.com
    statsfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    sls.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    fe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    Because I do want updates. :p

    Are you saying if these get added, you cannot do Windows Updates?

    I just ran the program and it has put some sites in my HOSTS file for blocking , but which services it has blocked?
    after running this tool windows update is also blocked?
    statsfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    sls.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    fe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net

    the above three sites are in hosts added as well by the tool.

    remove all modern apps....<--------------what does this do??

    This is what I need to white-list to be able to update:

    Code:
    download.windowsupdate.com, w7 - XP(POS) 
    update.microsoft.com,  w7 - XP(POS)
    sls.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net, w8.1 
    vortex.data.microsoft.com,  w8.1
    vortex-win.data.microsoft.com, w8.1
    fe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net, w8.1
    this one I seen that is used also on w8.1 update but for the moment was still ok without him allowed
    Code:
    statsfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    reported to:
    
    statsfe2.update.microsoft.com/ReportingWebService/ReportingWebService.asmx
    p.s.
    all my test are done on Router-Firewall-Proxy and not on hosts

    p.p.s
    I already have disabled in GP reporting ( error, customer experience... ) and I seen also periodic check from my w7 on:
    Code:
    crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/MicRooCerAut2011_2011_03_22.crl
    crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/tspca.crl
    microsoft.com/pkiops/crl/MicSecSerCA2011_2011-10-18.crl
    microsoft.com/pki/CRL/products/Microsoft%20Windows%20Hardware%20Compatibility%20PCA(1).crl
    ...

    Yup it blocks all the telemetry

    Reverting is only for the people who feel like this hasn't satisfied them enough ;)

    Your best bet is to create a new user account .

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I've added these 3 to my hosts file besides the ones that are on first post.

    I've found some "akamai" related but i guess that has nothing to do with Microsoft so i didn't include them.
