It is bassed on your ip.
Yep.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Google knows my favorite brand of coffee.
Thanks a lot, everyone!
One more thing to add. I hate toolbars. The only one i would use is netcraft http://toolbar.netcraft.com/
It's an anti phising toolbar.
Me too! The only ones I have are an antiphishing toolbar and the Adobe Acrobat toolbar cause I do sometimes use it. They slow down the browser and take vertical space away from the browser window.
My anti-Phising bar of choice is Mcafee SiteAdvisor (and WOT for Firefox, Chrome) but besure to turn off the secure search feature, you don't need another search box you've got a modern browser
Try Scroogle, it searches Google for you and sends you the results; that way Google doesn't get your details. Google locates you using your IP address, then targets you with 'appropriate' adverts. Scroogle doesn't store your information or your search terms.
Here is the link for Scroogle: Scroogle.
As for using PayPal online, someone hacked my PayPal account and bought goods on ebay with it. The money left my account and it cost a few quid in phone calls, plus I had to wait to get my money back!
