David, thanks for the tips. I have Ultimate adblocker on firefox and uninstalled cortana completely.and a hot tip for users who dont want linux : Using VirtualXP from Oracle since more then 2 years, still the first installed edition. It´s still stable, fast and SAFE I dont even need antivirus, adware remover and so on but did not have a single malware or spyware attack or anything similar. Oracle has done a terific job, the reason is also that the its too difficult to attack a virtual system or maybe it´s not worth the effort because there are not enough users.And the XP Dosmode is simply the best and fastest available. Re One Drive: You must release all files if they shall be availabale for opening and downloading so you are forced to select what you upload, no problem sofar for me, it´s your own stupidity if you have other files then the Onedrive folder open to sync.

Thanks, sounds much like what I did on the Windows side of my wife's laptop. (She never uses that side, she uses Linux.)
I'll check out Spybot Anti-Beacon, sounds like it would help alot
