Blocking advertisements Blocking Web bugs Web bugs are small graphic files that can send messages to third parties, including tracking your Internet browsing habits or transmitting personal information to an external database. Third parties can then use this information to create user profiles. To prevent web bugs from being loaded within browsed web pages, select Block Web Bugs on this computer. Blocking advertisements Advertisements are typically graphics served from a third party domain into a web page or pop-up window.
