miden Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I found this interesting, not sure if anyone else will Up until this morning I used a chrome extension DoNotTrackMe to block tracking bots etc. Now, it reported on average about 4 trackers each time I visited the forum. I hunted for a new one after DNTM started to continually post this popup about its new name Blur!!! I found one called RealMe whihc is far less intrusive AND it shows not 4 but 18, yes 18 active trackers on the forum site. Anyhoo just thought I'd mention it There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

RABid Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Every advertising company uses their own tracker. I've set up web monitoring at work and it is amazing how much bandwidth advertising and tracking software take. Google Ads not only track that you go to a page, they track how long you stay on that page and what you click on. We get a lot of use out of Malwarebytes. This post edited for speling.

miden Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah I have read that Malwarebytes is pretty good. thanks for the info on your tracking although it does not surprise that these trackers eat into bandwidth...there are just those times when you KNOW your ISP should be quicker, but for whatever reason (although now I think we have a good idea ) it is just "laggy".

HSS Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I've used Malwarebytes several times and it's pretty good. I just use the free download version.
