Naw, SafeXP has more options you can disable. You could use SafeXP and never bother with XPantispy, as SafeXP does all XPantispy does, and then some.

I think there may be one or two things XPantispy does that safeXP doesn't. Like setting regdone=1. And regwizc.dll

That first one is actually the link from the program itself. Its a forwarding address, free I believe. So it may go down with a bunch of traffic.

Also, reading the forum shows there are issues with the other software on the page, 'gamexp.'
I tried it once, but it just gave me a bunch of errors. Luckily I could revert what it did.
