If anyone posts a status to your wall saying anything about a dislike button, DO NOT CLICK IT! Doing so will will prompt the user to install a JavaScript, not a virus.

On Friday, March 18th, 2011, Facebook started using your photos in ads that will appear on the profile page of your contacts. If you want to stop this, do the following:

• Click on Account
• Click on Account Settings
• Click on Facebook Ads (a tab)
• Choose “No one” on the drop-down menu

and save changes.  Any problems, give us a call and either myself or one of my team can walk you through this and other privacy/security settings you need to know about.

If your Facebook mailbox has been lighter than usual, there’s a reason.

1) Talk to people more

2) Change your Facebook Settings
a) Login to Facebook
b) Click on Home
c) Click on the arrow beside “Most Recent”

Please share with your friends!
