install random third party software that may be sniffing or leaking information to remove shady features from windows that sniff and leak information.

My reason for not using them is that they tend to be overly aggressive in what they remove. I only need a few reg tweaks and denying permissions on a few files. These often go whole hog and remove whole components, almost all apps etc. I actually use one drive, I don't want its files also removed.
