When you're alone in your room late at night, do you feel totally safe and anonymous on the Internet? That lovely, secure feeling as you flit from one site to another? Pay some bills, check your bank balance, chat with your friends, shop for some gifts - how would you feel if strangers were watching everything you're doing? Noting your name and address, how much money you had and where you kept it, your favorite stores to spend money in and what defines the essence of you. How would you feel?

It's like running around in the world and you're being followed by someone with a clipboard taking note of your activities. If you thought just having anti-virus and anti-trojan software programs were protecting you from this, you thought wrong. So wise up, people. Start erasing your digital fingerprints and protect yourself. Protect yourself against identity theft and other cyber-crimes.

There are programs that can do just that for you. Some are free and some will cost you. The best in its field is Anonymizer Universal for the home user as well as business. For a $79.99 annual subscription, complete peace of mind belongs to you. It takes your Internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel from your computer or iPhone to Anonymizer's secure and hardened servers.

What does that mean? Anonymizer Universal takes the very IP address of your computer that tells everyone who, what and where you are going, and changes it into a different untraceable IP address each and every day. View video here. http://www.anonymizer.com/learningcenter/

You can use it with Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, while checking your email, using an instant messaging program or any other personal online business. In fact, it's not just when you're at home. It's when you're on the go using Wi-Fi, going online at Starbucks, McDonald's, the airport or sitting in your doctor's office.

Not thinking about this is unrealistic and potentially deadly. You'd be leaving digital fingerprints everywhere. You wouldn't wear a sign on your back listing your banking and charge account numbers; would you? But that's exactly what you're doing without the Anonymizer.

Check out this YouTube video about the program.


And check this out. When you boot up, go to the address IPChicken.com and it will give you your own unique IP address of your computer. That is your IP address every day without change. Then connect to the Anonymizer. Run IPChicken.com again and it will show you a different IP address than you had started out with, and that address will change every single day.

That's what you call private. Safe. Anonymous.

Now that secures your connection at Wi-Fi hotspots, airports, shopping malls, coffee shops, libraries, etc. And we're talking whether you have a PC, Mac, or iPhone.

No third-parties can access any of your information. Let's look at a summary of what we've been talking about.

    Anonymous web surfing sites allow you to bypass work filters by fetching the website’s data themselves, and then sending it back to you through the free anonymizer. These free anonymous surfing sites are powered by software that resides on the server. Not only do they allow you to circumvent filters put in place by network administrators, they also protect your online privacy by masking your IP Address, thus allowing you to surf the web anonymously. When you surf without a free anonymizer, your computer is exposed to all types of potentially harmful content (like viruses and spyware), and your personal information can easily be recorded by data trackers, effectively eliminating any privacy at work.I found some information about shag drive in google site.
