Could be your ISP too, giving away location info to some sites. . .
I think I need to change my location details to a country that has the same time.
Do you know the mechanics of doing this?

Well there was a manual file creation option too there.
Why are you so leaned towards IE?
You can also use some anonymizer or ip hiding tool to fake your location.

Is it your actual address, or just general location?

If general, then it's your IP address.

Leaned, because it is familiar to me.
I am not trying to be scary, merely I don't like intrusion.
I didn't want to fake nothing.
A bit of privacy, that's all I want.
But I suppose that's real mad. If you're going to go on the internet, well..what can you say?
Crooks, liars, devils, cheats, ..who really wants to be among them?
It's such a bloody struggle just to keep ones computer going, I am thinking, is it really worth it ?
