Top-10 List: Enough of trusting M$ disclosures, where's the hardcore list of stuff to disrupt?

#1. Any Windows UX / Spyware components uninstallable through Add / Remove programs?

#2. List of sneaky Scheduled Tasks to cripple (Home OS versions especially...)

#3. Likewise for sneaky Services (services.msc)...

#4. Sneaky IE / Edge Browser Add-ons (run w/o permission etc)?

#5. Sneaky Run / Runonce commands...

#6. Sneaky DLLHost spawned COM objects..

#7. Other Registry Key nasties not covered already above?

#8. New forms of app launching in Win10 not covered above... (Lenovo Superfish / Dell type stealth sneakiness (pre-OS / UEFI / BIOS etc)?

#9. Which subsystems do we need to run a Win2000 emergency repair disk on and force kill: c:\%windows%\system32\*.dll %windows%\system32\*.exe

#10. Disable search indexing of files? Firewall: Can we still block all inbound / outbound traffic unless a rule is explicitly created by the user in WF.msc, or only trust 3rd party Firewalls?
