    Got a virus from Facebook today, so 'color' me done with it.

    Thankfully, AVAST freeware protected me.

    How do you know it came from Facebook ?

    And how about a note about what specific forum infected your computer.

    Thanks

    I had just gone to the 'Vintage Altec Lansing Loudspeakers GPA' site and started reading the 1965 A7-500 thread, though in theory could have clicked on something different while browsing it; regardless, if any site isn't keeping the whole 'experience' free of such stuff, not going to get near them, especially FB since way back when after spending way too much time/trust into creating an FB page only to have it trashed and presumed reason why I began suffering through endless SPAM/'collection' phone calls, messages clogging my answering machine that lasted till I got rid of AT&T and still get the occasional 'collection' mail.

    I deleted my Facebook account 2 years ago now! Just didn’t like the no privacy.

    Yeah, I'm doing Facebook less and enjoying it more.
