On a similar note, go get the free program Ad-aware and run it regularly on your computer. It’s a program for tracking down advertising related registry entries, cookies, and programs. These sorts of settings and programs are almost always added without permission, and without you knowing about it. They do things such as send personal information about you to third parties, overlay existing advertisements on websites, create pop-up ads while using a site that doesn’t have ads, etc.
