Sneaky Microsoft renamed its data slurper before sticking it back in Windows 10

Re: Updates listed?

There's a surprisingly large number that have been back-ported to Windows 7. I find an open source utility DWS Lite (Destroy Windows Spying) is very good at removing them all and blocking all the associated URLs/IPs. Its source code is available so you can see what it does, and which KBs it removes.

That sounds like a useful little tool, perhaps someone here could review it?
