Why should I care about privacy?
If BrowserSpy.dk can show the information, any remote site including malicious ones, is able to get same information. This means that websites that you just surfed by, are able to gather a whole lot of personal information about you, your browser and your setup.
How can I protect myself?
From what I've been told there isn't much you can do to protect yourself. Of course you can always turn off JavaScript in your browser but this basically disables surfing with today's websites. The other thing you can do is to use another browser than Microsoft Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has way too many security problems for it to be a safe browser. Consider using Mozilla Firefox. More information at mozilla.com. You might also considering using a combination of a webfilter and a proxy like PAW and Tor. I've been told that this could protect you giving away too much information you you and your browser.
Make sure that your system always is up to date. Use on of the links below to verify that your system is up to date.
