Title: WARNING!!!
Post by: GrayBeard on November 16, 2011, 10:33:03 am
In the past 48 hours I have had a massive increase in my Spam/Junk mail folders and most of them are PHONY messages with FACEBOOK in the subject line!

To you folks who are not really computer savy I would suggest that you DO NOT open any messages of this type!

"SAFE Computing" is the only way to avoid being attacked by Trojans, Vrruses, Worms, RootBots, etc.

"Let's be careful out there!"

Well GB, I wouldn't open them as I don't do FB anyway!

Dan - FaceBook is the one way that I keep in touch with my children, and grandchildren...Much better chance of getting a response than email or trying to call them.
Other than that I don't use it much myself

Facebook has changed and said nothing (again). Take a look at your URL (top box on your screen.) If you see "http" or just "www", instead of "https", you DO NOT have a secure session & can be hacked. Go to Account Settings - Click Security on the left top corner - click Edit next to Secure Browsing, Check box, click Save. FB has automatically set it on the non-secure setting! Do everyone a huge favor, copy & re-post
