In this Article, we see the AVG has developed a program called PrivacyFix designed to help Facebook users with their privacy in their account. It explains the pros and cons of the user's privacy settings and what they can fix. It also informs the user which websites have sold their personal information to companies and block further companies from tracking the sites you visit. The program is also available on PC, tablet and phone.

I believe it is absurd and crazy that in this age nothing is private on the internet and that companies can buy our personal information is truly scary ! Nothing is private on the internet anymore and companies can literally find out everything about you through your accounts on various social networks. Identities can be stolen as well as your finances can be ripped away from you as your credit card number has been entered on some websites such as Amazon or Ebay. I personally believe everyone on the internet needs a crash course on what not to post on the internet for their own safety.
