I've had a Facebook page since 2009 that I use occasionally to touch base with family and friends. Recently however, I started getting notifications on my cell phone about things and people I have never had contact with. I don't even have the Facebook App on my cell phone. I checked all my settings on Facebook and all the notifications are turned off. I have tried to keep access to friends and family only. Then I discovered that somehow I also have an "Advertising Account". It has my email address but it's something I never signed up for or even knew about. If you use it, it charges $$ to a credit card or something. Anyway, that was enough. Found the appropriate page and deleted my Facebook account completely. It's getting too wacky and too "collective" in terms of information on you. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

I only have to see that tag line on your posts to see how you are paying for your free anti-virus by spamming your friends. I hope it is not going any deeper into your PC but be aware when you authorized AV software, it runs at the administrator level. As for Facebook, I don't fool with it but Mr Ed still has an account, that has been taken over by "Deuce" (Mr Ed II) Neither of them have any credit cards. |

He didn't have a clue and I am pretty sure Ed was not shopping on Ebay. They had to have sniffed a cookie on my machine when Ed was on Facebook. |

I used to have a separate Facebook page for Sam Adams. I finally deactivated it. That's the other thing about Facebook. If you deactivate your account and page, it's still there but can't be seen by anyone. All it takes to re-activate it is to log in. I don't think Mr. Ed had any worries. The hackers and scam artists probably don't even know what DOS or Windows 98 is. :-) |
