Ad tracking on your computer?

[billethkid]

I read the following article in USA Today, yesterday.

I have downloaded the tracking blocker from Abine called "Do not track Plus".

I am impressed with the number of blocks in a short time of browsing.

The tracking may not lead to anything harmful, but it has potential.

While I am typing this my tracker icon shows two tracking attempts have been blocked while on TOTV.

Any insight/comments will be appreciated.

for the DO NOT TRACK Plus link. When I went to install it the message said that it could access my private info at the websites. Is that true and what does that mean? Thanks

Look at MajorGeeks.com

If they don't have it or tested freeware I do not install it. Sometimes you are installing a tracking device with a anit -tracking devise?
