Hi schmidthouse,

Some choose the left-hand path nevertheless, and then some get found out. In the light of the above news- Tor no longer completely safe as criminal safehaven, illegal marketplace Agora decides to momentarily interrupt their present illegal operations because of  a hidden-tor flaw: read:

because of this tor-vulnerability: https://news.mit.edu/2015/tor-vulnerability-0729
So g33ks that choose for the dark side of the Interwebs also have their problems, not only we, the good upfront  guys.

Just stumbled upon this via scanning for my "virus & worms" postings: -> https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=175770.0
Apart from some SEO experts, no one really seems to care for this kind of manipulation and abuse and even Google seems to turn a blind eye, allthough they must have been aware a lot of this is going on. If not negative SEO then certainly manipulation is going on: https://managewp.com/is-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-broken  article author = Tom Ewer.

Start killing trackers then from the websites you visit.
Well you know the formula  ;) block ads, scripts, trackers with the appropriate extensions/add-ons.

New PCs with crapware (added trial software etc.) with an average of 20 additional programs slows down your new computer big time.
(Spotify, dropbox etc.). Computers that are so-called signature PCs will start 104% faster. Read: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/categoryID.69916600
