xpy is a small program which will disable the default threats of your Windows XP installation. Besides the classic antispy features, xpy closes recent security holes like the remote procure call (rpc) service and the distributed component object model (dcom).

Though xpy is smaller than 80 kilobytes, it can close serious threats on long distance, where large service-packs can only protect you until a new security hole has been found.

Features:

Disable Windows communicating with Microsoft

Disable questionable services

Tweak Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player

Remove Windows Messenger

Improve privacy and security

Improve performance
