They started making noises about this issue a while back...it's the same old s**t. They (FB) are relentless. The people that I think really need to be concerned are photographers, as FB seems to think that they own anything that gets posted. But if you just use reasonable caution (which is why teenagers are hopeless in this situation) you should be just fine. Sharing Dendropress's photos of cones won't likely get us into too much trouble!

I don't think it's sick at all, very funny. I hadn't seen any jokes about his passing, too bad, laughing at him instead of fearing him is a nice change. Sorry, there I go again upsetting the forum PC police.

Debby, thank you. I know there is always some risk, even with a Mac. ;-) The 2005 article in your link refers to a, "... report from anti-virus software vendor Symantec Corp." "... The report was clear to say that while the number of vulnerabilities in Mac OS X is expected to increase, they will likely be outnumbered by vulnerabilities in other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, for some time to come." "... Between July 1 and December 31, 2004, Symantec documented 13 vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft IE, nine considered high severity. Six vulnerabilities were reported in Opera and none in Apple's Safari browser." "... The report called the zero number of confirmed Safari vulnerabilities 'somewhat surprising given the increasing popularity of Mac OS X,' but suggested that as the browser grows in usage, so will the attacks." "... Mr. Cole said the classic and basic rules still apply to fend off virus and hacker attacks. 'Keep your operating system up to date, your browser to date and your virus definitions up to date,' he said. 'If you do that, your chances of having problems are minimal.'" I am careful about what I click on, but since most viruses are written to target PCs, I believe my husband's computer is much more liable to have problems with them. We are pretty good about backing up our files on the external hard drive. Come to think of it, I should do that today!

thanks for the info..was just there and my norton "caught" a redirect to some stupid ad...so annoying...
