What are WebBugs and Prefix URL?

WebBugs and Prefix URL are objects that advertisers place within normal Web pages to track your browsing activity. Web Bugs are small, typically invisible, images, while Prefix URLs track redirection activity. Here is an example of a Prefix URL: http://www.lifeguru.com/r?url=http://yahoo.com When you click on this link, the r application notes that you are going to the Yahoo Web site and then redirects you there. SurfFast will simply change this link to read: http://yahoo.com so that any tracking is eliminated.
