Who is tracking you online?

Recently I noticed that when I was on a different web site from Amazon,
I was seeing the items I had looked at ON AMAZON, showing up on the
right side of the screen. I have also seen the supplements I have
ordered showing up in the same manner.
Maybe it is time to run C Cleaner more frequently, especially if you are
looking for something related to a health problem.

Depends who has access to your PC. The internet is *the* worst place
to get information about a health-related issue if you do not have a
medical degree. There is just so much convincing crap online.

Nobody has access to my PC but me.
They are adding stuff undisclosed when I am looking at various products.
The products I was being shown were the EXACT items I had looked at on
Amazon. I think I was on Google when I saw it. Not sure now.

If using Windows 10 go to settings and then to privacy. Turn off some of
things you don't want. I turn off in "General" "Let apps use my advertising
ID for experiences across apps" and I turn off "Sync with devices" in "Other
Devices".

I use Win 7 Home Premium.
Did not check after I ran C Cleaner to see if the same results came up.
Maybe I will do that now.

I just had an ad appear from a supplement manufacturer on a totally
different web site.
Good time to check if C Cleaner would get rid of the tracks. I did a
thorough clean. IE was the biggest with Firefox and Thunderbird not too
far behind.
Went back to that web site. The vitamin mfgr was no longer showing.
IT WORKS.
