About 370 members, and HT is one of the mods so it must be official.

you can't pay me enough to go to facebook or myspace on a computer that has anything i remotely care about on it.

Guy at work has got a fake I'd on facebook calls himself Leroy Brown, he makes things up on it.
I don't know who is stupid him or those people who have added him as a friend.
Oh his location on his account is the ghetto :joystick:

We have exchange daughters all over the world, Facebook allows us to keep in touch and keep up with thier lives and we are very grateful for it. I guess it is different things to different people.

Facebook is an excellent means for coordinating things with friends, especially those who have scattered off to different colleges.

back in my day, we used these funny things.
one was called a telephone.
the other was called the us mail.
if we REALLY wanted to catch up, then it was time for a road trip. :aok

Your fears are pretty much totally unfounded. No need to scare away people based on your own incorrect assumptions.
Sorry if that's harsh, but it's the truth.

me and some friendsw made a female facebook once to seek out and harrass one of our other male friends with. Other than that I have never used facebook. Dont plan to either. I have nothing to stop me I geuss i'm just less inclined to share my whole life with everyone i know all the time. At least then I have news to tell friends when i see them.

i have a good friend that runs a computer business. he gets much of his business from people getting stuff from those two sites.

ROFLMAO!!! :rofl :lol :rofl :lol
I reluctantly made over $500 off that site last year...getting rid of malware infections on peoples computers.

Sister and mother in law are bad about getting bad stuffs from there too

I found my daughters computer often gets stuff from msn messenger, usually because they are teenagers and they are idiots that send files to each other all the time.

Cool story gramps, but I like doing things the best way, and I'm not stupid enough to click "allow" for every application sent my way. Malware is not a problem for me.

Might be true but has nothing to do with facebook alone. Malware can come from anyone anywhere. But to leave an impression that it comes all from facebook is wrong.
Posting to facebook is no different than posting here. You can just as easily get malware etc. from opening links posted here from time to time. On facebook just like any other
site don't be stupid and open all the links etc.
You said you made over $500 getting rid of malware from peoples computers you didn't say it came from facebook so fail to see the connection.
Ok I do see where you said that site but still no different than any other site.

Same here. If I don't know you IRL then I click ignore. Never had any problems with malware or virus' from FB and most likely never will.

It's so easy to keep in contact with everyone you want to, and it is also easy to find people that you want to, or have lost contact with, i.e. don't have their phone number or email addy. An incredibly effective and efficient tool for keeping in touch with people.
-

Haha I realized I was coming off a bit aggressive when I typed it but couldn't be bothered to rephrase myself.
Also I'm freaking the diddly out over here, ACT scores in one hour 16 minutes.

It wasn't the age it was the attitude.

I predict 31.

well, if i offended, and you thought i was calling you or anyone else stupid, then i do apologize.
there is maleware out there that'll find systems regardless of what site or protection you/we have. i know that, and you know that. the problem is that although you're not stupid, places like that are overpopulated with stupid people, and those that write maleware, viruses, etc., tend to know this. accordingly, places like that will be filled with this poop, just waiting for the unsuspecting user.
unfortunately, i would fall into the category of "stupid" as far as maleware and viruses are concerned, and thus would become a victim of it. hell....i got hit with that antivirus 2010 crap back in jan., on my work machine........
-

is that a guess at my age?
you're a little off. well....a lot off. :D
-
No worries CAP, wasn't offended at all.

dam!! i gotta try........eerr.....
thank god!! don't need the CO pissed at me......
in all seriousness, cool. :aok
-
I never go online without:
1. adblock
2. noscript
3. betterprivacy
4. sandboxie
5. shadow defender
With those in my disposal, who needs performance-robbing antivirus software?
Even if i get a virus all I need to do is just restart my computer and the virus is gone :rock
-
Never visit facebook on any of my machines.......
You may get a PTD.

Going to go ahead and call BS on this and the claim of making $500 from removing Facebook malware. When you went to remove all that did it say right on it "Downloaded from Facebook" ? My point being that for the most part once it's on your computer there isn't a very clear way of telling where it came from. I'd say your friend with the business probably has alot of customers who don't want to admit they've been to one too many porn sites, and you could probably come to the same conclusion about gyrene's claim as well.

i didn't make the $500 claim.
trust me......my friend knows where his clients visit. he knows how to find where they went, even when they think they've erased their history.

Ok, if you say so. Obviously never heard of a mouse over activation. I just call them as the log files shows them. In case you have never done it before, the first concern is saving the persons files. I tend to go through the system to find out what is causing the problems, then research the why's and wherefore's. Sometimes I even go so far as to see if I can reproduce the problem on one of my older systems and figure out if there is an idiot proof way to prevent it for future reference...it's all habits I've gained since the old stealth boot sector viruses.
But you go ahead and think what you want. :aok

Facebook? Whatever makes you feel better.

I tried Facebook for a while. Much like watching Southpark I could feel the intelligence being sucked out my brain the longer I stayed on it.
But, whatever makes someone happy so long as it doesn't adversely affect me.

Malware does not bother me. It is the personal data of over 150M accounts in the hands of hackers that concerns me. Even Facebooks CEO's own account has been violated.
Not worth the risk. I look at it Facebook like it is a billboard on the freeway. I just enjoy my privacy. Nothing on Facebook can be completely protected, and you are naive if you think it can be.
-
I have one, but I only use it to help assist in camping trips where we have people from several states gathering at one location. Although they ask all the time, I don't even allow my nieces/nephews to be my friend.
It's not a bad tool if used correctly.

Honesty in profile info is not the best policy.

i have a laptop that has nothing remotely important on it.
maybe i'll make a fake profile on there........like a hot 20 year old sex starved model type, and see what kinda crap happens. :noid :devil :rofl

Sometimes you may get application requests from people to install an add on. Most of the time they are innocent, albiet spam, but, as long you click reject on anything in question you won't be subjected to infections. It's not rocket science by any means.

i've never expected that anything i do/say/type on the intardnet would be private......but the link you provided is just another little step in the wrong direction.....and the sad part is that people want it, 'cause it's all in the name of safety....or so we're told.

Fine with me till they tap into AH Squad Vox. Until then, our plans to take over the world will be private.

"All applications that send encrypted information must provide a way to unscramble them".
Death to darknets and safely encrypted transmissions?
I imagine building this sort of weakness into the internet would be pretty cool for hackers.

Is their a lot of annoying people on facebook ? because people spend hours on it, what can you do but look at other profiles. ?

aren't they considered flash games?
mom fubared one of my computers, that i had set up for her.....she keeps going to popcap, and some of those other places with half assed games.......

Old n' stuborn people are old and stuborn. :D
Much the the old-fashioned mail and the family telephone, if you don't use your facebook account to play games, "find singles in your area", take BS surveys you don't need to, or give it out to (and add to your friend's list/pool) total strangers, it's perfectly safe, secure and discrete.

Bingo. Ok it's not perfectly safe, but nothing on the net is. Gotta say I haven't had anything come from facebook. Had it for 2 years or so, and I'm not too bright at figuring out how to prevent viruses and such. Freeware programs only.
-

I'm sure there are but the only people that generally find you are people in your network or friends. great way to keep up with family or some old friends i see maybe once a year.

a friend of mine has accounts on facebook, and myspace. she does them for her business. she has one single computer that is designated for this.
in the last 2 years, this same computer has been infected with crap no less than 5 times. thankfully, this computer is not networked with the important computers in her stores.
about a month and a half ago, her entire network went down. it(the network) was seriously FUBARED. none of her computers in the network could access the internet, and eventually stopped even booting up.
wanna guess what happened? yep. one of her employees was too lazy to go downstairs to the computer that they were allowed to use for these places.....so they logged into facebook from the store computer right up at the register. apparently, they felt there was something seriously important that they had to check....but there were customers in the store, so they had to stay upstairs.
for the life of me, i don't know why this person still has a job, 'cause i'd have fired her bellybutton for A)being on the computer when she should've been taking care of customers, B)going on the internet at the workstation that she shouldn't have been....while there were customers, and C) for fubaring the entire network.
and yes, my friends computer person was able to recover logs, and knows where the person was.............

Still doesn't mean facebook itself was the cause of the problems.

Still doesn't mean facebook itself was the cause of the problems.
in all honesty, it may or may not have been. like i said, the one computer that they're allowed to use had been infected multiple times....then the one single time one of em logs on with the workstation, the entire network goes down.
that being said.......i was talking to another shop owner yesterday about this. he's convinced me to try it.
what he does, is as his mechanics are working on a customers car, he takes pictures, and updates it on facebook as the job progresses. he does this when he knows the customer is a facebook user. he gets a lot of positive feedback about it.
so.....like i said yesterday, i have a laptop with nothing important on it, so i think i may try it.......if i get infected.......quick reformat....if not, then i'll have to come here, and admit i was wrong. it sure as hell won't be the first time i've had to do that. :rofl
-
Nevermind.

Let's just categorize it as the "carrier".
