Oh man, I have seen so much hacking on FB the past week. They keep posting these video links that I think actually just give you a trojan. I am so careful these days. Of course, someone also left a comment on a couple of my flickr pix that sent you to a porn website! Sheesh, there is no end to the morons out there.

I'm about ready to throw in the towel and nuke my FB account. Living far from my hometown, it was a great way to keep in touch with family and the friends I grew up with but now it's becoming more of a pain that it's worth.

Well, that’s an option, but if you’re just really careful, I think it’s ok (well, until they figure out how to get you without you clicking on something or giving them your PW). It seems to me that lately the whole internet is more dangerous. I picked up a trojan, I think from clicking on a pop up that said I had a virus and needed to buy their program to get rid of it. I clicked on the X and I think that downloaded something. But I’m not positive. Lucky for me my semantic caught it and it caused no trouble.
