Hi, Black_coffee_no_sugar,
Which anti-spying tools are you referring to?
Be advised that once you've downloaded software you've granted permission to access certain information. If McAfee or Norton requires an update, how do you think they know they need an update to their software on Your system?
What ever you do, research any products you download from the internet as there are some pretty serious issues with PUPS (Potentially Unwanted Software) that may piggyback through software you trust unbeknownst to you.
here some of the most famous anti spying programs
6 Free Tools To Disable And Stop Windows 10 from Spying And Tracking You
Windows 10 Privacy Tools
I do believe N1 those programs are malware or keylogger
N2 they don't offer any feature to verify those tools actually works like the preach
and I think Microsoft should put some afford to warn the windows 10 users about that kind of programs
because if the windows 10 users get infected with silence malware one of this day will also effect windows 10 servers
and then microsoft have a lot to explain when the windows 10 users are getting nasty stuff from the windows updates
just saying
