See below! The Blackbird download is a. This explains ALL the settings and amendments which the program executes. If you want to see what it is doing, run cmd. This is the verbose setting and will display the changes as they are happening. Reverse the settings with blackbird -r. This re-installs the default Windows settings.
Ummm, that should be…. Programmers are a sneaky lot been one for years and it is a very common practice to bury a call to home in the third or tenth or whatever run of the program.
Even worse, it is dead easy in windows to set up a call-home with the windows Task Scheduler and have it send stuff home when the PC has been idle for ten minutes, or every reboot or whatever. The three most important questions that should be asked first are… 1: Does it call home? This is why I brought the program to Ghacks attention. Thought it would be nice to get more eyes on it. Someone should log what the program changes in real time. What software lets you do this easily?
Seriously people… Make a stand. Please stop insisting that an app be Open Source ie, a question of trust when the entire OS is a war zone, weaponized against you.
There are plenty of popular windows softwares that have linux alternative. Posting something this old and outdated is not helping Linux to look like it can be a smooth transition. First virus protection was essential to use Win, then malware protection was essential to use Win, then randsomeware protection was encouraged to use Win, and now privacy protection is considered an essential tool for Win. Man, all these protections just to use an OS, and still people use and defend this software cancer.
Win 8. Do you want SSD chips soldered to the motherboard with a non-standard controller chip so your data can be lost if the board fails? And of course, no storage upgrades for you, ever. Most of these programs are redundant since you can already disable a lot of these things within the OS itself.
They should limit themselves to blocking functionality that cannot be natively blocked. They should also be open-source. Probably going open-source after v1.
The tool never calls home or anywhere for that matter. Internet connection is only required to resolve hard-coded host names to IP addresses. You can still apply all local tweaks without a connection. Pretty dodgy, IMO. Contact is pretty heavily advertised on multiple pages — [email protected] Tech-support is available should any issues arise. New version also allows backing up to an external file and restoring.
But yeah, go with your gut. I generally take their advice with a grain of salt when it is only 1 or 2 of their components that report a program to be malware. Those OSes are enormously more reliable, and are open source. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
