Stop Sending private System Information

[T-buch]

Today I should fill out a support form on the internet
The owner of the site was kind enough to inform me that along with the information I had plotted in myself, there would also be a lot of private info about eg. what services was running on my computer, which browser and other programs that were installed along with a lot of other in-transparent info about my system

How do you prevent these private information from being sent behind your back?

You could install NoScript and see what scripts are being run and then prohibit those urls in the future, usually for widgets, beacons, etc..
Browser is pretty much standard, services are port related so if you aren't using a particular service you can close the port with your firewall.
Unfortunately much is sent backdoor so best bet is to be vigilant, use an anonymous email address and don't allow third party cookies.
Other than that, don't visit the sites which seem to collect more than a normal amount of basic info.
You could also stay off Facebook, Twitter and any site which is considered a social site where you tell people your dribs size.

And be careful when sending printed documents.

Thanks

And don't be surprised that you don't get any support, because you sent incomplete information.

What kind of info do you mean?

what services was running on my computer, which browser and other programs that were installed along

not possible without a plugin - javascript cant do that alone. i would suggest you to do a full malware scan if your system contains a trojan.

1. AdwCleaner AdwCleaner Download
Insert [Report] here, then [Cleanup]

2. Let Malwarebytes (install as free) search
Download https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/
Insert logfile here

3. Junkware Removal Tool (JRT)
Download Junkware Removal Tool Download
Insert logfile here

Thanks a lot for that information -

I guess i have found out
I wanted help from an Add-on password manager called Roboform - so they got the info from the Add on program

I posted it earlier, but I don't know where it went. These days, most everything is recorded, logged, and archived somewhere. You won't be able to truly stop this unless you unplug your devices.

ofc, those programs collect any usable information of your used system to examine if there is some mismatch between their (here: roboform) and other installed software. the ESET system analyser do same. but i have doubt that the roboform addon had collected such information, it had called the roboform application for this action and transmitted only the result.

this behavior is legit and you have ticked the software agreement at least. sorry.
