Direct Blackbird V6 version 1.0.85.2 (32 & 64-bit) -=TeamOS=-

Mirkec · Aug 13, 2022

Review
Blackbird V6 is a tool for optimizing privacy, security, and performance settings on Windows systems. It is a portable, restorable, flexible program with a focus on leaving the smallest possible footprint and the ability to rollback changes.

It blocks telemetry completely, prevents Windows spyware, on both the application and network level, without editing the HOSTS file in any way nor does it mess with user firewall settings. It removes all Windows telemetry updates, Windows Ads, and all Windows built-in advertising, and any preinstalled app user want. A user can stop a PC from downloading and installing sponsored software in the background. Furthermore, the application restores privacy, prevent diagnostic data, passwords, contacts, URL, SMS, handwriting, location, and P2P-update sharing. It removes unique Ad-ID tracking token and built-in advertising.

Blackbird does not run in the background, instead of relying on persistent routes and resolving hostnames to IP addresses each time Blackbird is applied by the user. After usage no new files are left behind on the computer and users can safely delete blackbird.exe. Blackbird has succeeded when users forget it was ever there. Everything software can be restored using the software itself or manually.

. Does this for Windows 11 or is it just Windows 10?

psychwardreject · Apr 26, 2023

Just was wondering what "ILFS" stands for..... I saw it in your screenshots in reference to your downloads folder. My guess is " I Love Free Software" or something very similar maybe, Just wonder if my guess is correct or if I'm close at least lol

WhiteLocks · Sep 29, 2023

Has anyone tried this with windows 11 ?
