IMO: A must Read.
I agree with this article 100%.

MS with Windows 10 have simply given in and joined the Apple/Google/Facebook world of 'monitisation' of your users at all costs & by any means.
I am very upset by this and after 30+ years of using MS OSes and products I am seriously thinking of going to Linux 100%.
(I love a good Unix/Linux but never thought I would use it as my Desktop PC Environment. Might as well look now as Windows 7/8 will be dying soon enough, if MS get their way.)

interesting the home page of that app I wonder if opendns have got it right or a false positive?

http://pxc-coding.com/de/portfolio/donotspy10/ is blocked by opendns for phishing.

I did not follow the breadcrumbs to the 'adware app' as it stated it was adware up front in the article on 'The Register'.
From the original blog at http://bgr.com/2015/08/05/window-10-privacy-settings-how-to-stop-spying/ it state the app uses OpenCandy software.
OpenCandy is a wonderful way to install 'Lots of bad stuff (c)' on your machine.
I never touch anything that uses OpenCandy, which is a shame as it originally was not naughty in any way.

true but that doesnt make it a phishing site.

If Microsoft were occupying some form of moral high ground beforehand, we'll probably find it was on the shore of the Dead Sea.
