GWX Control Panel 1.7.3.1

Google 為使用者提供了許多非常實用的服務。不幸的是，使用者為此便利付出代價，因為 Google 利用其線上服務收集使用者的個人資料。來自 Abelssoft 的 GoogleClean 已開發為與最新的網頁瀏覽器同步，並提供易於使用的介面，搭配一些強大的工具，防止資料被傳送給 Google。

Google Desktop、Google Toolbar、Chrome、Picasa 和 Earth：幾乎每個 Google 應用程式都會將某種資訊傳回給 Google。GoogleClean 可防止 Google 應用程式傳送任何不必要的個人資訊。使用 GoogleClean，可以將使用者 ID 匿名化、刪除個人資料，並銷毀間諜 cookie。

主要功能包括：

• 刪除蹤跡：刪除電腦上 Google 應用程式的蹤跡。
• 自動蹤跡監視器：自動檢查並清理 Google 應用程式的蹤跡。
• 防止間諜行為：關閉各種 Google 應用程式的間諜功能。

對於注重安全的使用者來說，GoogleClean 是一個非常實用的小應用程式。有了它，您可以自動刪除蹤跡，而不必手動逐一處理。您可以移除 cookie、刪除 DOM cookie，以及刪除表單資料和已儲存的密碼。

整體而言，GoogleClean 能夠偵測來自眾多 Google 應用程式的服務，例如 Google Mail、Google Maps、YouTube、Chrome、Google Analytics、Google Toolbar、Google Desktop Search、Google Earth、Google Updater 和 Picasa。不過，最實用的是，使用 GoogleClean 可以刪除瀏覽記錄、清除下載清單、移除所有 cookie、清除快取、清除已儲存的表單資料，以及忘記 Google 廣受歡迎的網頁瀏覽器 Chrome 中已儲存的密碼。

# Changes:
- You can now block the Microsoft Get Windows 10 icon app even if it isn't currently installed. Previous versions of the program disabled the "Disable Get Windows 10 App" button if the app couldn't be found. But now you can preemptively disable it in the event that the KB3035583 patch gets installed on your PC subsequent to running GWX Control Panel. The text changes to "Prevent Get Windows 10 app" in this case.
- For users of the GWX Control Panel installer (versus stand-alone), the Check for Updates feature now checks with UltimateOutsider.com to see if a new version is available and downloads/installs the new version at user's request. Stand-alone users will still just have a button that takes you to the Downloads page. (I don't know a reliable/elegant way to upgrade a stand-alone copy, while upgrading is easy with the installer.) Note: For about a half hour there was a version posted that didn't give any "You're already running the most recent version" indication if that turns out to be the case. That was confusing, and I fixed it immediately. So basically if you check for updates and nothing seems to happen, it might mean you're running the 1.7.3.0 version that was up temporarily, and you might have to do a manual download. Sorry!
- Note: The Enable/Disable Monitor Mode and Display the User Guide buttons have moved. (Making room for an upcoming feature.)
- Fixed some unexpected behavior that could occur if a user chose not to allow GWX Control Panel admin rights if required to perform an action.
- Some optimizations in all recursive file operations (hopefully improving performance and success rate of massive delete operations).
- No longer displays "Change Windows Update Preferences" dialog on computers where users have not yet configured their Windows Update settings; instructs them to set up Windows Update first instead.
- Improved internal performance of diagnostic logging.
- Program no longer crashes when run on Windows Vista. (Note: GWX Control Panel serves no purpose on Vista; Microsoft does not target that OS for Windows 10 upgrades. I just didn't want my program crashing when Vista users tried to run it.)
- To eliminate some odd timing issues caused by users having Monitor Mode enabled for both All Users and Current User at the same time, the installer now makes sure that only "All Users" is enabled. (This only applies to upgrades, and only where Monitor Mode was already enabled.)
- For debugging purposes, installer now saves a log file in the install directory, named install_log.txt.
- The installer is now based on NSIS 2.5, which has some security improvements over previous versions.
- LOTS of under-the-hood refactoring and optimizations in preparation for some future plans.
