XPY

XPY is a security tool windows operating system. It is not an anti virus or anti spyware. But, it is a program that can change many settings of windows.

For example, it can change the security settings of Internet explorer to some recommended value so that no one can hack into your computer or no virus or spyware can attack your computer through intetnet explorer.

It also have many other settings to improve the computers speed / or at least change settings so that the computer appears to be fast. For example, disabling the animation of the menus make the computer to appear faster.

Windows Media player is another area where these security settings are implemented. One feature I liked is that services could be disabled. There are actually many service that are running in the background of windows every time the computer starts. It shows the serivces that could be disabled without any much problem to the proper functioning of the computer. You may use it withot much problem. But a knowledge about what each of them does might be helpful.

One advice, don't change any setting if you are unsure of it. Anyway, all the actions can be undone by the program itself.

Although, a nice tool to chanege many settings and improve the security and speed of windows, it can severely disable many good features of windows.
