Details:

Block 145 bad hosts, change windows update to check/notify (do not download/install), disable automatic delivery of internet explorer via windows update, disable ceip/gwx/skydrive(aka onedrive)/spynet/telemetry/wifisense, disable remote registry, disable 31 scheduled tasks, disable windows 10 download directory, remove diagtrack, hide/uninstall 47 kb updates (see below).

Download:

Stable Release v1.11

WIP Release v1.12

Instructions:

Download, unzip, right click on aegis.cmd, click "run as administrator", follow on-screen instructions.

Note: If unable to uninstall some kb's this post may help (scroll down).

Internet Explorer:

Certain updates which may contain critical security patches for ie have been blocked. We also block automated delivery of ie and related updates. Due to the obvious security risk posed by running an unpatched ie we strongly advise to uninstall ie. If you continue to use ie you should probably not use this script - or manually patch and do so at your own risk.

Liability:

Everything (with the exception of setacl) is provided as an open source/non-compiled format so you can look and see for yourself what it does. It has been thoroughly tested on my own systems and scanned on VirusTotal] and to the best of my knowledge it does not contain any harmful or malicious elements. I assume no liability for any problems so use it at your own risk.

License:

You are welcome to modify or share any of the code or elements and you do not have to give me credit. I do appreciate any feedback and I will give you credit if I use your ideas.

Windows Update:

This script will not block Windows Update, however it will change your Windows Update settings to check/notify but do not download/install. If you don't want this change it after running the script. If you have any problems getting Windows Update to work properly after running the script (this may happen in rare cases after uninstalling certain kb's) you may need to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or the System Update Readiness Tool (this can take a while to run, be patient). If you have recently installed updates and have not yet rebooted you may need to run the script again after you reboot.

I'm running this on a windows 7 machine, not 10. Windows 7 was awesome until this shit came over from the 10 camp.

Is Windows 7 the best version in terms of not having all this data mining, key to your personal life, giving them rats all your sensitive info on a silver platter etc...? Is Windows 8.1 ok? Does running your amazing script put Windows 8.1 on par with 7?

You know, there's a save button right there. You don't have comment in threads to "save them for later". That's kinda why that save button is there.

Thanks for putting this together! I went through and manually removed a bunch a couple days ago but this was a good clean up for the stuff outside of KB removals.
