facebook viruses « Thread Started on Jul 25, 2009, 8:17pm »
hey just wanted everyone to know that there are viruses in the facebook apps. 3 out of the 5 computers hooked up to the net here have now been infected, my mom's, kuazi's and now the family comp when i was on it. if you have a facebook but don't want to get rid of it, keep it, but stop using and delete all apps from your page, we believe that the viruses are in the quzzies but to be on the safe side don't use the apps.
I'll be deleting my facebook shortly, so if you want to heck in on me and the fam, see our pix, I'll be blogging on my doll site http://www.butterflyblue.amethystrain.com (setting off a section under Etched in Stone just for that, i'll have two tag boards/cboxes up one for the site and one for the blog, that should be up by the end of the week

I hear ya there, so how did your computer crash? Mine was overheating (graphics card mostly). Can't stand Facebook or Twitter, I'm way too boring for either, as are a lot of people who don't realize it yet.

it was a Frankenstein computer, have no idea how it crashed i woke up one night to see my computer turn itself off and then back on so i shut it down before things got really weird and now it wont turn back on... the monitor works, computer doesn't
most likely it was over heated but i couldn't put too much in the way of graphics on there so i kept it all on a flash drive, i just guess it was time for it to go... *grumbles* i only had the thing since christmas

Doesn't sound like overheating, usually in those situations it just shuts down automatically. Seems like it was trying to reboot. But yeah it sounds like the computer completely crashed, that's too bad. I've had that happen to me on a revamped computer I bought for seventy-five bucks. lol Frankenstein computers usually do pretty well, if you know how to build one that is. I can tell you one thing, I'm never buying a Dell ever again. Underpowered and nothing for ventilation or cooling.
Well at least you can save the monitor. How old was the computer? Was it refurbished or did you buy it new or used? Well at least you have a back up of your data. lol I've only had my computer for a little over a year, it figures that it starts messing up right when my warranty runs out. Well I hope that you get yourself a new computer soon.

i had my computer for about 7 months, and it was used but only excel had been used because the woman did book keeping for one company and she only had it for a few months, everything on the inside was dell... XD it just really sucks we bought it for $150 (printer, mouse, tower, monitor, keyboard)

Wow... That does suck. At least you didn't spend nine-hundred dollars on it like I did mine. And the woman who had it before bought it brand new? That's a pretty good deal for all that you got for it, maybe she knew it was a lemon before she sold it to you. lol Yeah I wouldn't go with Dell anymore, if you can find somebody who can help you put together a computer, I'd say do that instead. My buddy bought his parts from New Egg and assembled it himself. He now has a better computer than I do, and I believe he did it for less.

we're trying to get someone to look at this one, so far no response from the first guy, but my bff's technologically advanced brothers will be here around her birthday (halloween time) and i'll have them take a look then, but it just sucks to be w/o my frankie

Yeah I can imagine, it would be pretty devastating for me, I use my computer for everything. Well good luck, I hope that they can fix it for you.

they are coming this weekend so i'll have her ask ^_^ if it can't be fixed they get to keep it for parts
Yeah see if you can salvage any of it. I'm sure that the monitor, printer, keyboard and mouse still work right? And I don't know about where you live, but my friend told me that there's a computer place close to where I live; where you can not only buy computer parts, but they'll also help you put together a new computer. I hope that they can fix it, or that you can get yourself another computer soon.
