Nov 23, 2011
  • Reworked setting Hide shortcut arrow because it was not always working on 64bit systems.

  • Fixed several errors occurring on 64bit systems
  • Added Feature:
  • The menu Profiles now contains the entry Check profile at logon. If there’s a check mark in front of, the xp-AntiSpy will check the current selected profile everytime you logon to your system. If a setting does not conform to that profile you will be presented a dialog window, asking to reapply the profile.
  • Added feature:
  • Due to the amount of settings in the xp-AntiSpy it get’s complicated if you look for a special one. So I added a search field which can be enabled by selecting the menu Special>Show search field. Once you enter a search term it will be searched in all setting names and the according info text for that setting. Then only the matching settings will be presented to you in the overview. To reset the search, just press the escape key.

New in XP-Antispy 3.98 Beta (Jun 20, 2011)

  • In the menu 'Profiles', it was added a feature to check the currently selected profile on every login. If a setting does not comply with the profile a dialog will come up a inform about the settings not in compliance, offering to correct these settings.
  • By now there are more than hundred settings presented by the xp-AntiSpy, thus it's very complicated to find a special setting if you're looking for one. Added the possibility to filter the settings by a search term that only the settings which contain the search term will be displayed. You can display/hide this search bar just press 'Ctrl+F' or do it via the menu 'Special->Show search field'
