I just installed it though I do have Webroot which I thought handles everything....will have to see how this goes...do i just let it do it’s think then?
Ghostery will install a little icon on your browser's toolbar. When you visit a webpage it will show how many trackers are active on it. Just click on the icon and a drop-down menu will open up which displays the names and descriptions of every tracker it's found.
You'll see a little slider switch next to each of these names. If the switch is blue, then the tracker is active. Just click on the slider to move it to red, which turns the tracker off. Do that for each tracker, widget, beacon, advertiser, etc.
You can leave trackers enabled if you feel they're harmless or benign. You can also temporarily enable a tracker if having it turned off keeps you from opening a video, etc.
Hope that helps.
