Five ways to avoid being tracked on the Web

Another great Web-privacy tool that's available for both Firefox and Google Chrome is AdBlock Plus, which not only removes ads from sites but also lets you customize its 40-plus filter subscriptions for ads and known malware domains. Developer Wladimir Palant suggests a $5 contribution. The version for Firefox is available on the Mozilla add-ons site, and the one for Chrome can be downloaded from Chrome Web store .

If OpenDNS isn't the worst-kept secret on the Web, it should be. The service replaces your existing Domain Name System service with one that's both faster and safer. The ad-supported OpenDNS Basic for home users can be upgraded to the ad-free OpenDNS VIP ($10 per year). There's a version of K-12 schools and one for organizations .

OpenDNS works by using a network of Web-cache servers that put site content closer to your browser to minimize the number of hops required to deliver the data. The servers also filter dangerous or inappropriate content based on the criteria you select. For more on the service, see this post from May 2010 (scroll to "Filter potentially dangerous sites").

There are good reasons to retain your browser history, cache, and first-person cookies. Holding onto your history makes it easier to retrace your online activities. A big browser cache allows pages you revisit to load faster. And cookies allow sites to make suggestions based on what they already know about you.

Personally, I'd rather bookmark pages I expect to return to; I don't mind pages I revisit loading more slowly; and I don't care for sites' personalized recommendations. Where I've been and what I do on the Web is nobody's business but mine...and Google's, of course. And my ISP's, and the National Security Agency's... . But you gotta draw the line somewhere.

To set Firefox not to save your browsing history, click Tools > Options > Privacy. (If the standard menu isn't visible, press Alt.) You can either select "Never remember history" in the "Firefox will" drop-down menu, or "Use custom settings for history" to view more options. Check "Clear history when Firefox closes" to activate the Settings button.

With the advent of technology, the concept of paperless offices, online transactions have become an everyday event. Today, for most of our work we depend on the computer and the Internet. However, while using the Internet most of us are not aware about the security problems faced by our computer during both online transactions as well as idle surfing.

Idle surfing can inadvertently save onto our computer images and files that may harm the computer’s hard disk. This may also lead to personal problems especially if the computer is one at the office and it is monitored by others as some images or banners may be saved without our knowledge or intent. Secondly, while conducting online financial transactions, there is always a threat of our Bank ID, password, and account details being hacked and misused by others. People are often under the misconception that deleting the history in the explorer will solve the problem and will not leak such information. However, this is not true as this data is stored in a system file that is not deleted when one deletes the explorer history.

Internet Eraser Software is one tool which helps to delete the information stored in this system file thereby making the computer hacker-free. The internet eraser software has certain embedded programs that can search and find hidden files that are to be deleted. This software ensures that the privacy of an individual is protected and deletes all such files that are unwanted and are stored in such hidden folders. Along with deleting unwanted files, the internet eraser software deletes the information that we have saved on the URL regarding bank or credit card transactions. This ensures that hackers are not privy to important information that may be misused resulting in losses.

The internet eraser software also has a shredder feature which is similar to the paper shredder traditionally used in offices. This performs the same task of permanently deleting files that are unwanted or that may leak important and confidential information from the hard disk. The internet eraser software also acts like an anti virus software, protecting the PC from unwanted viruses invading it through such hidden files and thus makes the entire online experience a safe and secure one. Internet eraser software is mainly helpful in preventing theft of identity as it ensures that all personal information is deleted and not available to hackers.
