Switch the cookies off and the app wont work properly as it will not know who you are etc. Browsing is a bit more of a pain, but the phorm will not work and do this along with a web proxy for browsing and your invisible to them. I put a link to a proxy in my last post.

This will work as well :- http://www.torproject.org/.

If everyone uses this then Virgin not make any money from your data as it wont have any data to sell. It is also rumoured that the phorm uses a rootkit that it installs on your PC, so bookmark this link :- http://www.antirootkit.com if this turns out to be true, you will get the tools here to remove the rootkit.

There is a Firefox addon that you can use as well :- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3173

Though a word of warning if you do use a webproxy or TOR then you may open yourself up to virus's so make sure you know what you are doing before deciding to use it.
