P15-D24 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Google Ads, which supplies the "generic" ads, typically uses your browser search history to select and deliver ad content. Ads such as Butch's Cool Stuff are direct sale ads and independent of any Google influences. Anyone using your computer and searches Google will impact your search history. If it is truly inappropriate, like porn, get the advertiser name and I can contact Google for removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 While in Sochi, NBC did a report about how hackers were gaining access to all kinds of info via public WiFi hotspots...they setup a fake account on a new laptop, and it was compromised in less than 2 minutes...I was leary of public WiFi before that; since then, public WiFi is the 2 dollar whore of the 21st century: it seems like a great idea if ya use the right kind of protection, but sometimes that gamble has some blowback (pardon the pun) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodFitch Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 On private cable system home WiFi only for past year plus. I use my android tablet when using open WiFi sources. There is WiFi and then there is WiFi. . . On your home setup you should be using WPA with a good strong password. Last I heard, that is reasonably safe against people eavesdropping or gaining access to your network. I strongly recommend that you use a "password safe" of some sort and have long random unique passwords for everything. You only need to remember one password then, the one for the password safe. I happen to use KeePass as there are versions available for all the different type of operating systems I use and it is open source (free and security researchers can examine it for flaws), but there are other password safes or wallets with good reputations. Using a password safe, nearly all my passwords look something like 0lHKSENc5sYJqY2jhxN1pAFwyoMynm5W (not one I really use). I can't even type it in looking at it but computers are good at cut and paste. All I have to remember is the password to the password safe and then get the login information from it. Witn an "open" WiFi, like those found in cafes and other public places you need to be very much more careful. Many devices remember what WiFi networks they have been connected to and broadcast that information when looking for a place to connect to. So if you've connected to the public WiFi in, say, McDonalds others with appropriate scanning software will know you've connected to that in the past. If you habitually connect to the WiFi in the shops and restaurants you visit, your phone might be advertising that information. And with that information, a nefarious individual could create a fake hot spot that your phone (and maybe lap top depending on OS) will automatically connect to. At the very least, go into your settings and tell your phone to forget the open WiFi networks you've connected to. I run some software that uses the GPS and blocks my phone from announcing networks that are not in the area. So if I connect to a McD WiFi, my phone will only announce that if it is near the original specific McD that I connected to. Check your Play Store or App Store for an app like that. It will help keep someone within range of your phone from learning the names of fake WiFi networks they could create to fake your phone into joining. Secondly, if you are connected to an open WiFi (no password needed to connect), everyone in that area can listen in to what your phone/computer is doing. I've installed VPN (Virtual Private Network) software that I use which encrypts everything in and out of my computer so the person sitting at the next table "working" on their laptop can't monitor what I am doing. If you don't feel comfortable setting up this type of security, then I'd advise not using public WiFi hotspots at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Clear your browser cache often. Doing this may require you to re-log into sites such as this one so have your login and passwords handy after doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
