Truly safe browsing?

[Way_Seeker6661]

Does anyone know for certain, methods to browse safely - that is without being monitored or traced? I know there is lots of software available for this and there are proxy server services. But what of these are honestly for real and effective? I have gotten strong feelings to quickly get offline, many times recently. My intuition saying I am being tracked. This is always accompanied by my connection drastically slowing down (I'm the only one using it in the house) and sometimes my hard drive goes crazy, being read. So I'm a little paranoid and want to know how to combat whatever fuckers are intruding.
