a few tips when using the web

I've used proxomitron in the past to highlight my timetable. It's great because you can add your own filter so you can change every page to best fit your needs. Another great soft to surf anonymousely is Multiproxy. It can load a list of proxy, test each proxy on the list to find the fastest and then change the proxy you use every n minutes. Also you may know that some anonymous proxy filter content so you can't access all the web with them. What about Mozilla ? I think it's the first thing to use when you don't want to be annoyed with pop-up, cookies, images. ATM I'm very pleased with Mozilla and Tiny Firewall (the version 2.0 is free and still available).

I also use ad-aware but becareful. If you simply select to remove all "spyware" from your computer, you may disable some programs from running. Such as, divx 5.02. Everytime you access the codec it checks to see if its ad software is still running. If it doesn't find it, it refuses to run. In these cases, a firewall blocking their access to the internet is all you need. Sure the ad software is still there and running but it can't get anyplace. So before you remove all "spyware", make sure you know what you are removing. Mac
