If for some ungodly reason you are using Windows or maybe are forced to. Here's some software that will remove all the spyware from it. You have to select what you want removed manually for best results

Before the "just install Linux" people show up - some things simply will not run on Linux.

Tools like this are great for a Windows VM for random Windows-only shit. Like Toyota Techstream.

Edit: I don't know why I'm getting downvoted for this. I literally have a copy of Techstream for my Toyotas, hosted in a Windows VM on my laptop that runs Linux. Techstream will only run under Windows. This is not up for debate.

The tool is good and I used to use it. But noobs be warned, you might cause hiccups or janky functionality and not understand which setting caused it.
