???? about the current "Face Book" problems

Post by Sonny Jenkins »

There is a warning from some forum members in the Steel Players catagory about the danger of opening email with a certain title ("Is This Your Photo"),,,,,I use Moz T'Bird and the only way I know of to delete a message is to "select" (highlight) it,,,when it is selected it is also "opened" at the same time??? Is there a way to delete a message without selecting it?

You should be okay if you have to open the email before you can delete it. Just don't follow the link that is inside the email. That's how the email that I got was set up.

Interesting. I got that facebook message as coming from John Roche. Thinking it real, I clicked the lind and it took me to a site called Spacesaver. I deleted the email with no apparent bad things happening. It may have picked up John from my friends list. My pc tools is running in the background. It should tell me if there are any problems.

Any time you end up visiting a suspect website you should run scans with everything you've got.
