Question
Hello: I am running Zonealarm Pro,Spywareblaster (anti-adware/spyware program) and McAfee Virusscan on Win XP Home.I am using the Firefox browser as well,and really like it's features.
Lately,I have being getting paranoid regarding the ease with which a website can identify my IP address.Targeted ads will pop up,naming my home city.
Can you suggest a good anonymous surfing software product,one that provides the best bang for my buck?

Thanks!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
