I'm sorry to hear that Windows builds are a problem right now. Here's a suggestion: https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/bugs/948/ (filed as separate ticket, to avoid offtopic conversations here)

Privoxy with Admin rights?
This has not been fixed and it currently looks like "we" may no longer be able to provide Windows binaries in the near future: https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/?p=privoxy.git;a=blob;f=TODO;hb=HEAD#l528 I suppose the bug can be open until the next release ...
P.S. That Privoxy runs as Admin, once after install, is a bug in the installer. The installer should start privoxy with the final user account, not the Admin user. This is a security bug (unnecessary elevated rights). It also was hiding this bug here.

Yes, I did, but I also no longer use Privoxy as it's pointless with the ubiquitous https sites and I don't want to bother with configuring it to work with those.
Yes it is. As part of their usual 'Apple knows best' approach, since OS X 10.8 non-interative accounts (those prefixed with an underscore) are blindly deleted as part of OS version upgrade, hence the account my installer creates so that Privoxy can drop privileges at runtime is removed. As per this ticket, the workaround is to uninstall/reinstall Privoxy to have it recreated. I prefer this over using an interactive account, since then 'privoxy' would appear as an option on the login screen. Ian On...
