Many thanks for this article very useful.
I've just started using Windows 8 and now 8.1 3 months ago when I purchased my new lap top and right out of the box I've had to deal with these shopping reviews and trackers. I must say that I haven't seen so many different trackers in such a short period of time. I'm just grateful that so far each one of these have been simple to remove from my new computer. I guess I should just expect this sort of thing to happen each time that I download something new on my computer. Is there a certain anti-spyware program that I can use that will prevent this sort of tracker from even downloading onto my system? Currently I'm using Norton 360 and Spyware. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!
Thanks man!
