Azinoh "Maybe we had different download sites?" That's possible. I downloaded directly from www.avast.com. If you did not, who knows what you actually downloaded. Could possibly have something to do with your very slow download also. ========================== Sunday 04-13: My version is 2014.9.0.2013 and now there is a new; 2014.9.0.2016. Well updating from the interface update just didn't seem to go so I went to the Avast.com site to download the dot.exe file. Clicking on download takes you to CNET. I now realize my original download was therefore thru CNET. So much for getting Avast from Avast. From Google it would seem cnet hasn't got the best of reputations any more in fact lots of complaints about extra programs foisted off on ya. Guess so. I went to File Hippo for the 84.55M file. Then googled that and there seems to be problems with the 2014.9.0.2016 version. So I'll skip it for now. Maybe let it age a bit. FH seems to have a good rep but most mssgs I found about them were several years old.

Shoot, this came out long (ended up venting something else). Carrie's Wall - is Carrie a FB friend with Joe? Not yet, but I figure it's just a matter of time (they all know each other). Not sure what Carrie's settings are at. Without coming out & asking, is there a way to find out? Rilie is correct; block Joe & he's done with seeing anything you post period. That's posed a problem for me. I have tried and can't find a way to make it work unless he's a Friend. IOW, I got into Account>Privacy Settings>Customize. First option is "Posts by Me". I can edit that to where it's "Friends Only Except..." and then I type in name(s). Friends names will work, but I just tried it, typed in Joe (not my Friend) and it didn't keep that setting, it just disappeared. If there is another way, I'm all ears! :) Same thing if I want to do a custom edit for maybe one post. It only takes Friends names as exclusions. Wait, just found something. I was in Account>Privacy Settings and see "Block Lists" at bottom center of page. I experimented entering "John Smith" . (I don't know a John Smith, so no harm done.) It let me block & unblock him, so it's doesn't have to be a Friend or permanent block. However, this is what is blocks: "Once you block someone, that person can no longer be your friend on Facebook or interact with you (except within applications and games you both use)." I don't use apps or games, so it sounds like even if I put Joe's name on the block list, tho he can't interact with me, he could probably still see my posts left on Mary's wall. Since I'm stepping out of my own territory when on her wall. :/ Natal, I have become a bit disillusioned. There are pitfalls. My now single best friend from H.S. closed her account due to a creeper who wouldn't leave her alone. I treasure my family, but sometimes what younger ones post (teen to early 20's) makes my jaw drop. TMI to an extreme. Don't want to know about the younger (early 20's) distant relative who had an affair with a 'bad boy' type, broke up her marriage, lost custody of her toddler, now in a custody battle. (Common sense would dictate in a custody battle, don't post certain things.) Ironically after all that the bad boy's possessiveness showed even on FB, she broke that off. She lost a lot for a fling. I just don't want to know that stuff (why anyone would think the world would either is beyond me). Another thing (just a rant). My FB times are very early a.m. before work, or evening 'down' time. Ideal for chatting with family overseas due to time difference. I work at home, nearly all of it on PC. Recently a sibling's spouse & I were chatting, they said winter has been super busy. I agreed, mentioned how many hours I've put in lately too. Their response was condescending and came with a smile similar to one they'd use trying to catch their kid in a lie; "are you suuure...? " *smacks forehead* Of course I'm sure. And I take breaks, who doesn't?! My 'work' days can go 12, 14 hours when I'm on a roll. So I bop online, rest my brain, get a brief change of scenery. Certainly don't need to justify that to them. Didn't pursue it, but was ticked & insulted. Because their response came from them seeing my FB activity. They aren't even on FB, so they are seeing through one of their kids I'm close to & Friends with. That's a little too weird for my liking. Love the 'real time' staying in touch, but reading above, it sounds crazy. Have some family that refuse to do FB. Think maybe they're the smart ones.

Last week I researched something similar and this came up in one of the search results. I don't think it can be done. I've noticed that you cannot delete a post that you started, either. But if you suspend or remove your account, the comments disappear, which is a drastic solution. Maybe your relatives are finding the updates from your Wall. Click on your profile to see if they're there. If so then you can delete them. Then get in the habit of deleting your comments there immediately after you post something in a group.

For whatever reason, nothing I posted yesterday went through... Strange! With this one "friend", I had hidden her earlier but wanted to give it another shot so I could see her stuff now and again (forgot why I hid her in the first place). I don't know what I did, but now all she posted got into my notifications. I did have her set to "follow", which is what I have my other friends set to as well, yet they only get on my notifications if I have commented on something (and similar), while for her, everything she did prompted a notification! I didn't mention the notifications part at first because it didn't dawn on me that this is why it became a problem. All her notifications were drowning out everything else. I think it has stopped now though. Hellion, I get what you're saying, but seriously, some people have no internet-social-skills and though I have over 200 friends on my friends list, only about two or three out of them are posting left and right about every thought that goes through their heads. Or they will share everything they saw that they found somewhat interesting. You can think "oh, cool!" and leave it to that, but don't share EVERYTHING that was cool or funny or cute with everyone! It's too much! I used to know how to simply hide these people, but now I can't figure it out. It makes for a much more pleasant experience to be on FB when these people aren't stuffing my newsfeed constantly. I seriously feel like I need to tidy up, just like when I organize a drawer at home.
