Solve : Internet Explorer revealing personal info?

Answer»

I am sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else,i searched before i posted.

I have noticed on some sites that i visit post my ip,isp and browser info in a box on the site. Is there anyway i can adjust my settings or any program that i can GET that will STOP this? Thank You,cobberhead

i am using:
WINDOWS XP Home sp2
IE - 6
McAfee VirusScan 2006
McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 2006
Microsoft AnitSpyware Beta & Adaware SeFrom my knowledge, your IP is not in any danger unless you do not have a firewall. McAfee should mask it for you. I had the same question, and it sounded like it wasn't a big deal when I asked... Just keep on top of updates  

[glb]Flame[/glb]thank you for the quick RESPONSE. i didnt know what else someone could see but i feel lots better now.Think about it.

Your IP is known because the request was sent from your ip to the website.
Your Server is known because the request was sent through your server to the website.
Your browser is known because it was your browser that sent the request.

The first two can be 'hidden' by using a proxy but there is no point unless you move on the 'dark' side.   Quote

Well said, Fed.  
thats the funny part, i am through a proxy and my true ip is showing through such as on www.danasoft.com - I am using direcpc 2-way satelite. Most sites such as http://www.pcflank.com/ where i go to test my firewall tells me that i am behind a proxy and cannot attempt to connect directly to me. But others can,thats what i was getting at. "Dark Side"SOMETIMES i feel that way, lol. But the darker we can get the more secure we shall be don't ya think?  Have a read, it's free.
