need help purging the part of my computer that identifies me.

[johnnymercury]

i have dealt with a webcam company on the internet, and they cut me off. I am able to get back on, only by either restoring my pc to factory settings, or by going to a new user, and punching in a new e-mail address.  I have purged my computer of all traces of their software, including cookies and browsing history, but as soon as i re-download their product, their software instantly identifies me as the original poster (who they cut off).   So how are they identifying me?  Obviously, restoring the pc must eliminate a tag that their software uses as an identifier... And this is before i even give my e-mail.  Thanks for any help.,

You will need to change your service provider...
What the heck did you do to tick them off ? ?

[johnnymercury]

to patio...  ahh... i posted a naked picture of myself...  it can't be the ISP as i go through a satelite.. so even though I've restored my pc to factory settings, it's always gone through the same isp, (even when i've managed to reconnect to their service),  so it must be something else.

webcam company is cutting you off of the internet?
That would be the first case ever!

[johnnymercury]

no, the webcam company didn't cut me off the internet, just their website.

Why do you have to go there?

[BC_Programmer]

well you broke their Terms of service so they banned you basically. I think that's out of the scope of what we can help with.

Funniest thread of the month!

I laughed for like ten minutes straight.

Too bad, it's John, otherwise we could have asked for a link

I read that and thought... "too much information"...

That's like saying, "well, my computer isn't booting up. Am I supposed to wear pants for this?"

not to go into too much detail but the software is likely gathering hardware IDs and MAC ids and the like and comparing it to banned accounts on their server.

Or just a simple IP ban- neither of these is worth your effort to circumvent, since I'm sure there is more then one "webcam company".

I'm gonna answer my own question...
Probably, he wants to post another naked picture

[johnnymercury]

actually, i'm just curious what the company uses as an identifying tag. ...it's got nothing to do with my isp... And naturally, i can find another webcam outfit... but i'm just curious...

ie: "what" gets eliminated when you reset your computer to factory settings ? ...the thing is, if you elininate all cookies, and all traces of their software, how is the company still able to identify me.  ...remember... when i restore the computer, nothing is changed... i'm still reconnecting through the same isp... nothing is different.
