Another reason why I am so happy to be using Linux on all my machines.

Of course it is not 100% immune – just 99% – to all those annoyances, but, for sure it helps a lot not using Windows and I.E.

Common sense is the other must have ingredient, most people do not really think or even know, what they do on line; let alone what their PC’s are doing without their authorization, or even their knowledge.

2 cents.

Kind regards from Mexico City.

The facebook itself is a virus, an Open Virus.

I highly recommend RoboForm for all logins. This simple program not only allows you to easily create random passwords for every website, saves time remembering and entering passwords, but also defeats phishing by only entering your passwords on the correct sites.

My guess is a trojan tracking my key strokes. There was a message on facebook with a link to a video. When I went there, it never fired up but since then my laptop had slowed down. I ran spyware and it detected a trojan but one I had not heard of. So I had to change bank account passwords etc.

They first tried to change the password and that is what taunted me to go to the site. I have to talk with host today and see if I can get a list of IP address and times.
