Just to let my friends here know that I have taken my Facebook page
down. I wanted to mention this
just so nobody would think they were "un-friended."
Also some friendly advice: if anyone ever sends you a greeting card
that looks like it might have originated
on Facebook, don't open it! It wreaked all kinds of havoc on my
computer.
I loved keeping up with family/friends, and viewing photos, but I just
got so irritated at how Facebook allows
any kind of hacker to advertise on their pages. My SIL, having no idea
what she was getting into, clicked on
one of those "Send a Free Greeting Card!" ads, completely innocent of
the fact that it was loaded with spyware, adware AND changes your
search engine and home page. Long explanation which would definitely
be
better served by someone more computer literate than me, but long
story short, I took the page down in a
fit of pique while trying to get the computer back the way it WAS.

You should NEVER click anything that comes in your email. Also, why didn't
your anti-spyware or anti-virusware catch it?
