Your privacy is under attack !

Privacy on the Internet is increasingly under attack, as searches and visits are routinely recorded and combined into personal and behavioral profiles by the major search engines.
While you are searching the internet, these engines register the time of your searches, the terms you used, the sites you visited and your IP address. In many cases this IP address makes it possible to trace the computer, and in turn the household, that carried out the search.

Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded.
Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database.

The identity profiles that can be constructed from this cloud of information represent modern day gold for marketers.
But government officials, hackers and even criminals also have an interest in getting their hands on your personal search data.
And sooner or later they will…

privacy activist Katherine Albrecht warned that a component in Obama’s Stimulus Plan called for citizens’ personal medical records to be placed in a national electronic database, and that many different organizations/entities would have access to the files. HMOs are lobbying for this proviso, she noted. In terms of search engine privacy, Albrecht touted the site Ixquick for not keeping any tracking records.

ReddingPCRepair.com and our parent company NorthValleyWeb make absolutely nothing by advertising the Ixquick search engine, we are promoting it because we believe in the right to privacy.

Join with us and use Ixquick for your searches.
Read all about it here then start using it.  Nothing to download just use it like you would use Google, or Yahoo, or any other search engine.

The Windows Experience Index measures the capability of your computer’s hardware and software configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower base score, especially when performing more advanced and resource-intensive tasks.

Each hardware component receives an individual subscore. Your computer’s base score is determined by the lowest subscore. For example, if the lowest subscore of an individual hardware component is 2.6, then the base score is 2.6. The base score is not an average of the combined subscores.

You can use the base score to confidently buy programs and other software that are matched to your computer’s base score. For example, if your computer has a base score of 3.3, then you can confidently purchase any software designed for this version of Windows that requires a computer with a base score of 3 or lower.
