I always see personal ads across the screen everytime I go to a website. Personal ads within MY city. These are for websites I have never visited. I'm guessing they are targeting using the IP address. Am I guessing the obvious?

So, did you use Poser to create your AV?
Yes, all that has to be done to track you is to match your IP address with a domain name using something like, http://www.dnsstuff.com
to find out your general location.
Have fun but be safe.

It's kinda scary huh? Them knowing where you live? And what sites you visit? There is software and services you can subscribe to that will prevent this,i.e., block your IPA address.
