Do you still use the operating system Windows XP? You have to know then that you are not the only one, but many users are still opting for this somewhat old but fully functional version of the OS from Microsoft. If you want to continue getting the most out of it, you should know that there are some exciting applications in this regard, such as XP AntiSpy.

We want to stop in this tool that will allow you to reach a new level in terms of the configuration of all kinds of services of Windows XP, which otherwise would be either hidden or inaccessible. Thanks to this utility, you can make changes such as removing automatic system updates, avoiding error reports, or forcing a quick shutdown under certain circumstances.

We could say, in other words, that the main objective of the existence of this platform is to provide us, as far as possible, access to the configuration sections that come by default in Windows XP. The truth is that although advanced users will know the location of almost all of them, we are sure that novices will appreciate the functionalities of this application.

What functions of XP AntiSpy have caught our attention? In principle, those allow us to disable the startup of some of the applications installed on the computer in conjunction with the equipment. This is extremely interesting because it allows the startup of Windows XP to be much lighter, and the computer can respond several seconds earlier to all our intended actions.

Once you have opened the program yourself, you will see that although the interface is not a big deal, it is effortless to interpret, putting several categories at our disposal, such as Error Reports, Windows Media Player, Settings, and so on. Entering each of them, you can see the available configuration options and execute them in one way or another.

In total, XP AntiSpy allows us to access more than 25 configuration possibilities completely independent from each other, which is ideal to avoid those annoying error reports or, as we said, the programs that run automatically or in the background end up slowing down the computer. For logical reasons, most computers that still run Windows XP are not exactly computers with too much power. This factor is very relevant when configuring most of our user experience.

To give one of the most talked-about examples in the networks, we have to talk about the option to automatically disable all messages from the operating system, which tells us that there are newer versions of the same available. Of course, if we are using Windows XP, we probably already know that, and with XP AntiSpy, we will be able to eliminate those annoying messages once and for all.

We also found it extremely interesting that this utility allows working with Profiles, which surely those not so used to dealing with this program will appreciate a lot. Thanks to this menu, it is possible to select a type of use that we give to the PC, and just by clicking on it, all the available options will be transformed into those that tend to the marked user profile.

Also, these changes are not made automatically. Still, once chosen the profile in question, you can see what the changes are compared to others, and if everything is correct and ends up being useful, then you have to click on the option Activate changes, located at the bottom of the screen, to run on your operating system Windows XP, and begin to notice the difference.

And although over time, we could say that it no longer stands out too much in that sense, XP AntiSpy also has some functions that protect our computer from possible spyware that tries to enter it. The system has several levels or types of protection, and all you have to do is select one, although our advice is not to be too confident about it, as it is still somewhat outdated software.

In summary, we can say that this tool, developed specifically for users who still have the Windows XP operating system, is a good ally for those who want to get a more personalized experience or better performance of their computer in general lines. It costs nothing, it's easy to understand its functions, and with a little practice, you can surely optimize your PC's usage, so give it a try.

Yet, let us tell you that you shouldn't be too confident in the performance of this system as the only anti-spyware on your PC, as it's likely to contain some holes or vulnerabilities. Install it now if you're looking for a Windows XP usage configuration platform, but don't assume it will keep all spyware off your machine.
