I thought everyone knew this but i still see many people advertising DuckDuckGo as a Privacy Respecting Search Engine, which isn't actually that private anymore.

[*]It's hosted in the US, so it is de facto subject to the Patriot Act.
[*]Hosted by Amazon (worse than Google for collecting personal data, owned by Jeff Bezos ( a jew ) )
[*] Isn't actually a search engine, but a metasearch engine (it uses normal search engines like Google)

If you respect your privacy, i will recommend you a real private search engine based in Europe ( France and Germany ), check it out here: https://www.qwant.com/

What about Tor or Brave?

With the Tor browser itself, I don't think there's a serious problem if you know what you're doing. Browsing over the Tor network is anonymous, but it does not provide security. It does not protect you from scammers and "bad" people. Anonymity is a given, but security is not. You are safe through Tor if you know what you are doing. There is another way to access Tor anonymity on a Brave browser - called Proxychains.

Similar to Tor - it hides your IP address and does its thing over multiple IP addresses. Proxychains is for browsers like Firefox, Brave and so on. By using Proxychains, you can achieve the same security on, for example, Brave as on Tor.

The Brave browser itself is not bad in my opinion. It has a lot of features and is designed to be secure by default.

Bro Norton is the company that makes all the viruses and gives them to you. Because having a virus is reason to pay for more anti-virus software. Don't buy Norton.

If you have any virus that you are not able to find or remove, you should erase everything and reinstall a new copy of Windows. Just first save everything on external hard drives or large USBs so you can put them back on the new Windows because everything will be gone.

It would be better to not use Windows since it itself is a huge piece of spyware of which you have limited control over. Try easy to use Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu instead. You are in total control of the system, at least.

Henu my pal this is very helpful but I will admit too technical for me what i will do if its okay when I have new one ask for help as I need to stop this happening all the time, it could be the dodgy football sites oh they are bad or the other dodgy sites :lol: :lol: (not on them now :eek: )

I will have a we google of those ideas

Cheers my pal

Using Firefox with adblock such as uBlock origin goes long way. Avoiding shady links is a must these days as a link can easily be used as a method for spreading malicious malware. A good rule of thumb is to always look at the link on the bottom of the page before clicking it open and avoiding weird looking referral type or otherwise strange looking links. I mention Firefox because it's probably the last widely used decent browser (ie, does not spy or excessively spy on you, not sure which) with large amount of useful internet security related add-ons available.

As for Linux, setting it up is not as complicated as you might think. Sure its all new and strange, but looking video and text tutorials and searching specific questions up will clarify things pretty fast. Internet is also full of guides for specific command line related uses making things rather easy for someone who has limited knowledge. Having two computers side by side makes things even nicer - you can use one as you would right now and experiment on the other without risking the main computer. Sounds nerdy, but so what. :D It's not even too expensive as setting operating system for basic text editor and video viewing usage does not require much processing capability making this possible even with several year old laptops. Upgrading older laptops with new ssd drive and memory are two major upgrades that will make the computer rather fast to use as long as it's not bloated with services and programs running in the background.

I think you mean adult content sites? As far as I know nothing will pop up unless you have no browser extensions against that end. Fortunately I do not have to worry about that vector since I do not use such things at all. I recommend the same for you.

In any case it's best to keep a habit of backup or two of important files and to keep those up to date to minimize data loss if something unexpected happens. It also smooths the transit from one operating system installation to another. Large usb sticks are dirt cheap these days and smaller ssd drivers as well (you can connect them to your computer with usb or with an external case which can likewise be connected usually via usb or similar).

Henu thanks for in depth reply i will save this and read it proper when I get back. thank you.

You got me bang to rights they adult sites :lol: :lol:

Do you know they have even took my face ID for my phone etc and made a fake version of Norton. ohh mate im raging this is so sophisticated its unreal. I dont know what to do cant hand it in as they will look at all my saved personal stuff, also my phone if hand that in thats personal too im kind of at odds at the moment to be honest.

You defo know your steff Henu see if you can get me out of this mess you be a legend :D


Sorry to be a pest im still laughing at you spotting it and saying they sites. I also use dodgy football sites but its defo the former rather than the latter.

Tor is just a browser, it's not a search engine. Most clearnet search engines (and sites in general) make usage difficult or impossible for Tor users. Tor based search engines are (i) practically useless (ii) bad in themselves - either way, they are not worth using. I do not know about Brave. Just use various search engines, don't rely on one.
