Very old news...but I guess if you didn't know a few others on here didn't.

Adblock Plus is the shit for Firefox.

I just installed TrackMeNot yesterday. http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/
It does Google, Yahoo, AOL, Bing and Baidu searches every minute based on RSS feeds that you provide. The idea is to muddle what you are really searching for with garbage. I added the HS RSS feed, of course.
I think the only flaw is, that it never visits any of the sites that it finds in the search results.
And Scotty, give NoScript a try, http://noscript.net/. It kills even more than AdBlock.

I love Adblock and like Noscript, and have run TOR, but found it unusable for certain sites.
Also deleting tracking cookies every day also helps. Spybot S&D will do that for you, as will many trojan and virus scanners. Run them automatically nightly or on shutdown or startup and it will prevent most of that stuff.
PS: That chick totally looks like my neighbor's old girlfriend, who he happened to meet on a Herpes+ dating site.

For the Ubergeeky here, I had to get a laugh at the popularity of the Kinect this holiday season. Let's see how this will work out:
XBox security measures cracked: Check.
"Free" downloadable games from Live: Check.
High speed internet and plenty of storage: Check.
Camera watching your living room: Check.
Hacked drivers for said camera: Check
Or maybe just some pervy Russian or Indonesian kid...

More of a pain in the ass than it's worth, I think. If you 1) use the same password for High Street as other sites; or 2) visit from public wireless access points, then you probably deserve what you get.
Something like KeePass or Password Safe will help you take care of #1. For #2, you just need to develop a sense of shame.
