lot of people are concerned these days about the online prevalence of viruses, spy ware, and possible identity theft. While no single way can protect you completely while surfing the web, there are ways to hide your real identity while online.
One of the easiest ways to hide your computer, and thus hide you, while on the web is to use proxies. Proxies act as a computer between you and the rest of the web. When you are surfing the web through a proxy, and web servers you connect to, actually think you are connecting from proxy computer.
You can, for instance, connect to the web through a proxy in china even though you are in Pakistan. Any web server you connect through will think you are connecting from china even though you are in Pakistan. Any web server you connect through will think you are connecting from china. Sometimes you can get interesting results from doing this. For instance, if you do run through a proxy in china, and then surf to www.google.com, Google will think you are in china, and show you the Chinese version of their website. You can of course click Google in English to fix that.
