Hi gang,  I just read an article by Kim Komando on what people see about you when you surf the net.

Now, I will go first.  Since I use IE8, it has In Private Browsing and I use it when surfing.

     It still tells  the evil website what you IP address is, who your IP is, what your operating system is, and what browser you are using.  It may tell the site what your speed is and the city your are living in (Except with Kim Komando's site and her check, it got my speed wrong and the city and state was completely wrong).  It also couldn't see the sites I visited.

-I clean my computer of everything each day

-I have a extremely speedie 56 K Modem that when I come back on line, my IP address is different.

How about you folks-what measures do you use to protect your selves?  Jan
