HI
Got an "ADULT FRIEND FINDER" pop-up the other day showing women in my area.
I have never contacted them, how the hell do they know where I live.

Thanks in advance, FAST

They can tell where you live by your IP number.
 
Thanks everybody

I have recently purchased software that cleared out all of that adware shit. But now what I would like to know is, how do you find out where a person lives from their IP address.

Thanks, Fast
 
Ip Address Scare

OK all you internet experts out there, how does some one determine your location from your IP #.
This is got me spooked.

Thanks, FAST
 
Actually I have often wondered about this-how do "they" know where I am? I do not get this pop up, but I often see, embeded in a page, 'meet women from *(my area)'. Now I also figured that the ad was somehow reading my IP address and thus knew where I was. But when I traveled somewhere else, the ads changed. But my IP address remains the same-does it not?

BTW-I am on a Mac

How do the ads know where I am?
 
Not an expert on this by any means...but in the case of Rogers and Bell...the IP's always begin with certain numbers. Perhaps there are number strings that designate where the backbone is from..and from there can be further broken down into regions?

Uneducated guess....
