What Is Your Best Way To Prevent Web Invasion?

No, I'm not paranoid; I'm certain I'm being followed. Mr. Google is fun to visit and search out new information. However, visiting so many websites will install hundreds, if not thousands, of tracking files on my computer, and that info is then shared with private companies, including Facebook and social media sites. Since you are well aware that "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE", I'm asking you to share your best way to keep websites from following you. All input appreciated.

    You certainly get tracked - I can do just a few searches on GOOGLE for Ham Radio and BLue Sea Components etc and then switch over to facebook only to see the exact models I was looking at showing in the side bars of facebook...

    I do run Advanced System Care (FREE VERSION) and AVG (Free Version) here. At least every three days the smiley face on Advanced System Care changes colors and I have to run a manual scan to get the smiley face back in the BLUE... Advanced System Care erases/dumps many files when I do this. Major threats are dealt with as soon as they are received.

    My Computer running WIN7 continues to run good with my many TABS activated for all of the places I like to visit during the day so who knows how safe things are...
