This doesn’t stop the government spies, just the corporate spies who are doing much the same thing. I remember a long time ago, American Online was very big on intensely tracking its users and anybody who entered their Internet turf.

Since then, it has gotten out of control. So many corporations want to track you that it’s surprising you are able to surf the web at all. At the same time, anti-tracking has become an industry in and of itself.

Right now, I am using:

AVG Do Not Track (came with the free antivirus)
Adblock Plus (Firefox add-on)
Betterprivacy (Firefox add-on against “super cookies”)

Then at intervals I use:

Adobe Website Storage Setting Panel (control panel on website), against Flash cookies.

Malwarebytes anti-malware freeware.

SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition

or

Spybot Search & Destroy freeware.

And finally, using registry repair software is a good idea, as after cleaning up and deleting a lot of bad stuff, there are often remnants polluting your registry.

I have Ghostery, Adblock Plus, and now Betterprivacy thanks to your suggestions. I used to use DoNotTrack before AVG got it but I also have AVG as my firewall/antivirus. Anyone know of anything else, besides NoScript, that I should be using?
