    It;s the - let google know everything ... for your convenience. Oh, and then let google share that with everyone ... for your convenience. Oh the number of times I've misread a popup and accidentally sent my contacts to "trustworthy legitimate" organizations.

    Noone has mentioned that Win10 can uninstall programs by itself. I've had Spybot S&D 2.4 and my IObit Bluetooth drivers uninstalled. It did fix my Bluetooth issue. Turning on my headphones no longer crashed the OS. Spybot says it should be compatable, but also state they they are working on version 2.5 for Win10.
