  • Hiding or changing the information your computer gives out:

    If you want to change or hide information about your computer, such as where
    you have been, what browser you're using and more, then download Proxomitron.


    When this program installs, it does not start automatically at system boot,
    so you'll want to add it to the startup group or run it manually.  In a
    nutshell, this program talks to the internet for you and hides the information
    you want to keep private.  It listens on your internal port 8080, so you
    need to tell your browser to use proxy server 127.0.0.1 on port 8080.


    Once you have this running, right click on the programs task bar icon and
    choose bypass.  Visit the AuditMyPC.com privacy page and record the
    information that is displayed.  Right click on the program icon again, and
    , then right click on the programs icons again and click on bypass to turn it
    back on.  Now visit the privacy page again and compare the results.
