I use a browser that allows me to block adverts on websites also blocks popups.. I chose my firewall /virus killer to help protect my privacy.

If I decide I want to buy over the internet I like to search research and select the best option for me.
From all I have read and I have been reading a lot I also listened to the video from the CEO, I feel from all that is being said is trying to convince us we all need this phorm.... I feel this is more an invasion of my privacy, my freedom of choice and human rights. Phorm is offering under the disguise of protection targeted adverts... You say you give a random number then target adverts to this on my browsing habits... Your system could end up giving more false adverts than correct biased on what people use the internet for.
I moderate a busy forum in this role i sometimes search to help members with problems, source equipment for best deals. not for me personally just to help out on the forum.
Phorm would then target me with all sorts of unwanted adverts due to this browsing which in turn would get annoying to time the customer.
1. What guarantees can you give us VM customers that this will not happen?
2, Why is it classed as security when all you are really doing is gathering information to send us adverts?
3. If this was only security then why will VM earn money from this instead of paying for this?
