can anyone tell me how to remove browser tracking code plz?

Question

i did a pc performance scan and the results advised me to remove browser tracking code. It said i was sending tracking code in the user agent string to every wed site visited

Answer 1

I don't see why. But http://www.opera.com - Download Opera, then go to Preferences, and untick "Referer Logging."

If that isn't what you mean, then please expand your question.

Answer 2

Hi cyprus,

If you are using Internet explorer to surf the internet, you may find several components listed under Tools>Manage Add-ons.

if you know a certain item which is bugging you, then juz beware. This item loads itself into the memory as soon as you open any web site. To avoid this happening, click this item in the Manage Add-Ons dialog box and choose the Disable radio button.

Moreover, you may also use Ad-aware utility (http://www.lavasoft.de/) which will clean all the browser tracking code from your system and even more bugs. I have tried this... and its fantaaastic!! Juz try ..!! All the very best!

Answer 3

As Danitin said, Opera does enable you to disable referral logging; if this is what you meant.

http://www.opera.com

If not, the only other thing I can imagine you mean is how to clear your cookies. In which case, it's different in each browser, and you should probably post a question called 'How do you clear your cookies in Internet Explorer / Firefox / Opera / Safari / whichever browser you use?'

Also download and run Ad-Aware and Spywareblaster.

Update and run them, once a week.
