The Recall feature takes screenshots of your screen every few seconds while you use your computer

I really have no clue why anyone would use Windows as their main OS.

Not so many lazy alternatives…

When you check the ‘delete spyware’ box and your operating system disappears.

When you check the ‘delete spyware’ box and your operating system says ‘deleted’, but it is actually still there but just not shown to you any more.

Like on Android/Chrome/any Google product when you check the ‘delete history’ box and you get the ‘deleted’ confirmation, but it is actually still there but just not shown to you any more.

Ooooh thanks, will check it out.

Any solution for removing adobe bloatware running permanently on startup without any option to disable/delete/stop/throw/shred/remove forever??

Linux.

It seems Adobe do a removal tool, with options that either work really well or simply remove everything Adobe. Care should be taken on which tickbox are chosen.

Thanks but this does not remove the services Adobe rapers force you to run constantly on your (sorry, my) machine. Even if you disable the service and force it to run manually only, it will restart itself. Fuckerz.

There used to be an open source programs firewall stopping any service running without authorization, cannot find it any more…
