xpy is a small tool which disables the default threats of a windows xp installation. besides the classic antispy features, xpy closes recent security holes like the remote procure call (rpc) service and the distributed component object model (dcom).

Here are some key features of "xpy":

- disable windows "calling home"
- disable questionable services
- unarm internet explorer
- unarm media player
- remove windows messenger
- improve security
- improve performance

Though xpy is smaller than 70 kilobytes, it can close serious threats on long distance, where large service-packs can only protect you until a new security hole has been found.
