Blackbird V6 is a tool for optimizing privacy, security and performance settings on Windows systems. It is a portable, restorable, flexible program with a focus on leaving the smallest possible footprint and the ability to rollback changes.
It blocks telemetry completely, prevent Windows spyware, on both the application and network level, without editing the HOSTS file in any way nor does it mess with user firewall settings. It removes all Windows telemetry updates, Windows Ads and all Windows built-in advertising and any preinstalled app user want. A user can stop a PC from downloading and installing sponsored software in the background. Furthermore, the application restores privacy, prevent diagnostic data, passwords, contacts, URL, SMS, handwriting, location, and P2P-update sharing. It removes unique ad-ID tracking token and built-in advertising.
Blackbird does not run in the background, instead of relying on persistent routes and resolving hostnames to IP addresses each time Blackbird is applied by the user. After usage no new files are left behind on computer and user can safely delete blackbird.exe. Blackbird has succeeded when user forget it was ever there. Everything software can be restored using the software itself or manually.

- Small UI tweaks, more code optimizing because maximum effort.
What is new in version 1.0.4 (Released on February 04, 2019):
- Improved OS version detection (Boring tech details: Now reads the OS version as a numeral 'value' instead of a 'string', which was admittedly dumb in the first place. This should prevent any weird compatibility issues popping up in the future when running Blackbird on newer/updated or unsupported Windows versions);
- Added new switch /ShowHost - displays all active host blocks set by Blackbird (IPv4/IPv6 addresses);
- Added new hosts to blacklist;
