I am being spied upon!

Yesterday while myloting, I decided to take a break and browse the web in search of a certain cologne I have an interest in.
Upon my return to mylot half an hour later, I began perusing the recent discussions section - and what do you think happened? Advertisements for the colognes I had been researching popped up on the right side of the page - and even between the first and second discussions.
Now, I find this to be rather unnerving - and it raises a number of questions in my mind. Like: (1) What else are they watching?
(2) How much do they know about me?
(3) Who are they?
(4) Is it wise to go online when not fully clothed?
{5) What will happen in the near future when technology becomes more and more advanced?
Right now, one cannot feel private when using a public bathroom - some have cameras and one can be spied upon. What are your thoughts? Do you worry about losing your privacy?

This is somewhat worse than I thought.

@Jessabuma Progress won't be stopped , so I suppose we will have to work around the disadvantages.

The Internet world knows EVERYTHING about you and you have to remember that every time you go to a site, type on a site and/or put the computer on.

Haha yes since talking about Russia over the last few posts. I have had Russian Dating sites come up. I have never looked at a Russian dating site in my life and have no intention to start now either!

It does seem like we lose more privacy everyday. I remember the cartoon, Jetson's. In it Jane received a call from George's boss's wife. It was early morning, and before she answered the video call, she put on a face over the one that looked like she had just woken up. I think we're coming to that point faster than we expected.

this has always happened, I think, we just never paid much attention to it like we do now.

It does make you wonder doesn't it. There is probably a lot more out there than we imagine there to be!!

This reminds me of the movie I watched last night " Why Me?" his house computer heard everything.
Yes this happens to me too, you and I , need to run a spyware scan to rid our computers of the spies.

@UncleJoe suggested a program called "Superantispyware" - I'll try it. And @Mike197602 recommends DuckDuckGo .com.
