Attention, all of you with Windows 10. I'd like your cooperation in performing an experiment for the benefit of all of us. You know that Windows reserves the right to take inventory of your machine and if it finds anything it doesn't like, it reserves the right to delete it from your machine. Well, maybe you DON'T know that, but you do now.
I have unconfirmed reports that this is not just a right they claim but an action they take--to delete software from Windows 10 machines for any reason they choose. Imagine if Silent Hunter 4 had its way and not only would it fail to start if the SecuROM scanner found Microsoft Process Explorer on your machine, suppose it deleted Process Explorer without telling you and then started up the game. Would you tolerate that? I wouldn't.
I would like a few of you Windows 10 explorers to install the
Tor Browser.
I used Tor Browser back in the day when Spotify wasn't in the United States. I wanted to know what it was all about so I used Tor Browser to tunnel anonymously through the Internet to Birmingham, England, where my connection first hit the light of day. Spotify checked my IP address, saw I was in Birmingham and dutifully downloaded to my machine in Florida, USA. I was using Spotify 18 months before it came to the US and when it became available here I already had my user name and saved playlists. I just "moved" to the US!
Tor Browser is a totally secure browser that blocks all sharing of your information with anyone under nearly all circumstances. Those circumstances that could expose you are told on the website. They specifically say that Torrent Servers are famous for giving up your IP address, be very careful of what browser extensions you use, don't use Flash or Java--things like that. The important thing is that the Tor Browser is not harmful, contains no malware and is of no hazard to you or others. You don't have to even run it if you don't want to.
Now just leave it there without even running it. I have heard that there's a distinct possibility that Tor Browser is on Windows 10's nasty list, just as Process Explorer is on Silent Hunter 4's nasty list. Except that indications are that Windows 10 is uninstalling and deleting Tor Browser from user machines without user consent and even without any notification that Tor Browser is being removed.
If you're willing to participate, please post and let's see what happens in a week! Should be interesting.
