Stay anonymous. I don't use, Chrome, Google, Bing, whatsapp, internet explorer, they track you. I use firefox and Swisscow as they get rid of your cookies when you jump off, plus they don't record or give out your info. I use a VPN so every time I go on the internet I am coming from a different place in the US and Mexico. I have an antivirus that discards all the cookies I accumulate as soon as I leave a site. I have a firewall for protection. I don't answer my phone unless it is a number I recognize. I don't answer emails I don't recognize. My antivirus is Avast and I pay for it to get more features. I have a great spam filter. Just a few of the things I do.

I have firefox and Avira paid VPN. Firefox won't let me get into TS but my default MSN does. Go figure.

This was a few years ago; who knows what might have happened since, unreported?

You might want to avoid Microsoft entirely and use Linux.
