how to hide surfing info

[cumminbk]

i have noticed that in some avatars they can tell you what your IP is, what browser you are using, what your internet provider is and what type of OS you are using. is there any easy means to prevent this info from being detected online without effecting internet speeds/access? Is this any type of security threat?

This has been explained over and over and over and over and over again. That information is not being relayed back to the person who's signature that is. That information however is freely available to any website you visit and essentially every single website on the internet logs that information. It's really not much of a vulnerability.

And if cumminbk wants more of an explanation and would like to freak someone else out he can look here: Gamehead200's tutorial.
