Stop onlive advertising

January 18, 2014 · Rick Aurand

Do you want to stop Ads popping up related to something you’re searching for on the internet? Are you having those ads follow you all around everywhere you go on the internet? That’s what advertisers are doing these days. Sometimes is will be a coincidence that you see the same ad on different websites. However at other times, it’s more deliberate. There is technology that lets companies track and share information about their website visitors’ interests, an ad you see on one site may appear on another specifically because of the content you chose or the items you bought, or even looked at. This tactic is called “behavioral targeting,” and it helps advertisers save a significant amount of money off their budgets by delivering ads only to those people whom they believe may be the most interested in their ads. This is determined by monitoring your behavior on the Internet of which websites you visit, what you buy and which links you click. The government is starting to take notice (finally) and will eventually implement some new rules applying to online advertisers. Among these ideas is a do-not-track list that’s similar to the Do Not Call Registry for telemarketers. (Sometimes I do wonder just how well this works, really) where you would be able to list yourself and marketers would not be allowed to create anonymous profiles of you.

So, until that happens, here are some ways you can take control of the online advertising:

(1) On Yahoo! sites, look for the AdChoices icon that links to more information on the ads you’re seeing and your options for managing your privacy.

(2) Download an Internet browser plug-in that automatically prevents sites from creating a profile on you.

(3) For GOOGLE: If you are using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, With this browser plugin (below) you can permanently opt out of the DoubleClick cookie, which is an advertising cookie that Google uses. The plugin lets you keep your opt-out status for this browser even when you clear all cookies. http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin To provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics opt-out Browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/eula.html

(4) For Mozilla: Annoyed by adverts? Troubled by tracking? Bothered by banners? Install Adblock Plus now to regain control of the internet and change the way that you view the web. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=cb-dl-featured

Testimonial from Don Garlin

I recently purchased a new laptop and had nothing but problems and I contacted Mr. Rick Aurand, Printers-n-PCs LLC to explain my problem. The same day I called, Mr. Aurand came to my home and resolved not only my computer problem, but resolved a problem with a printer that I was having. When working on my computer, he was very patient and took the time to show me exactly what he was doing and always explained ways to improve my computer. I would most definitely recommend the service of Aurand’s Printers-n-OCs, a true professional who takes pride in his workmanship, ensuring that customers’ needs come first, I would most definitely call him again if I have any computer or printer problems.

Our 2009 computer was very slow, especially when starting up. Rick cleaned it up, checked for viruses, and made several suggestions to us. The computer is much faster now and works like it did when we first bought it.

Member Comments:

We called several different computer services but went with Printers-n-PCs because there was no charge just for showing up and the rates were reasonable. We made the right decision. Rick is professional and knows what he is doing. He got the job done and didn’t drag it out. I am definitely recommending Printers-n-PCs to family and friends. 9/9/2013

Aurand’s PRINTERS-N_PC’s gives GREAT SERVICE! I took my computer to Alliance Computers. After a week, I called to follow up and they didn’t even start on it. I went and picked up my computer from them and took it to Aurand’s PRINTERS-N_PC’s early that evening. They had it fixed and back to me by mid morning the next day. I’ll give them ALL my work! GREAT SERVICE! Name withheld by request 5/25/2013

They do GREAT work! Customer satisfaction comes first. They stand by their work and that’s just one of the reasons I’m a repeat customer. Needless to say, I’m very pleased with Aurand’s Printers N PCs. They’ve built two desktop computers for me over the past 5 years, reimaged a hard drive, and have taken care of network security issues from time-to-time. Aurand’s focuses on my needs, like helping guide me through the numerous choices when they built my new PC to focus on my computing needs. I’m a demanding professional who looks for good performance and value. With Aurand’s I know that I’m getting straightforward advice, efficient problem solving and troubleshooting and service I can always count on. I highly recommend Aurand’s Printers-N-PCS 5/25/2013

I recently had the pleasure of doing business with Rick Aurand of PRINTERS-n-PC’s. I took my laptop to him around noon, expressing my need for a prompt repair and much to my surprise, it was available for pickup at 3PM that same day! Upon arriving, Rick not only explained the repairs, but he also made suggestions on how additional improvements could be done independently. It’s obvious that Rick is very well versed on computers!! 3/18/2013

I have been using Aurand’s Printer-n-PC’s for two years now.
We are very pleased with Rick’s service and knowledge of our machine.
We have an HP all in one 2840 and Rick has kept it alive for us.
I always know when I call, he will be there when I need him to be.
Today, I jammed my machine up and Rick was there within two hours , and had it fixed.
He also showed me a few things I didn’t know about it.
It is really a pleasure doing business with Aurand’s PRINTERS-n-PC’s. 2/17/2013

Very quick service. I have a Dell laser printer that was not picking up paper. I called Aurand’s PRINTERS-n-PC’s and he was at my home within a couple hours. Rick not only got my printer fixed, but also fixed my wireless router so that it is now secure and no one can access it. I wasn’t aware of what that required and Rick fixed it easily and explained to me what he was doing so I’m aware of how it works in the future. Cost seemed fair and reasonable to me. 2/12/2013
