If anyone out there wants to remain anonymous while visiting a site they might want to try using the Anonymizer browser.http://www.anonymizer.com/docs/support/surfing/ I have checked this out myself and it hides all of your personal info like your ISP, your geographical location, etc. The free version does display an annoying banner at the top of your screen but it's still a great tool for those times when you really don't want your computer to reveal any personal data to a web site's administrator. Be sure to read the instructions and type the URL of the site you want to visit in the Anonymizer's box, NOT in your browser's address window.
You can check the info that is being read from your computer before and after using Anonymizer by going here: http://privacy.net/analyze/. I would advise you to also turn off Java and Java Scripting in your Internet Security Tools when using this browser. (even when you're not)
I just thought I'd pass this along to anyone who may find this little tool useful.
Be sure to read the instructions and type the URL of the site you want to visit in the Anonymizer's box, NOT in your browser's address window.
