here is the main problem with how the infections are happening in facebook, there are bad or sloppy codes in the facebook application which allows hackers to get into the application and replace code for things that would look like something innocent with something not so innocent. for example you might see that there is a link you think is going to lead you to say someones pictures and you think ok no problem and click on the link well below the surface that click you just did really was not to send you to someones pictures it was instead to send you to a bad site that by visiting alone, some people could get infected or have the pop ups start to hit you that you can not x out of with out installing something on your pc. And there are lots of little applications for facebook and myspace these are written by anyone and you have no idea what they actually wrote into that code. Facebook and myspace really don't care all they want is people they are not real worried about protecting anyone. Which is exactly why they made it so easy to accidentally send out your entire address book, good way to get more people. And why do they want people and addresses? gee hum could it be to harvest information and sell it? So even doing things you think surely will not harm you can, that is what happened to my friend, someone she thought she knew sent her a link, she clicked on it, it was not really a link to someones pictures at all and she got badly infected. This is like the clickjacking we had talked about at one time. there are various methods being used on those social networking sites. In fact if you google facebook virus you will get lots of info as well as directions on exactly how to create them! Lovely. Just be really careful on any of those kinds of sites. Unfortunately a lot of the things that are the infections on those sites are not necessarily ones that your AV will catch. Lots and lots of people have got that dreaded antivirusxp 2009 infection from there and that even has a rootkit in it in some of its forms. Just one of many Facebook Virus Turns Your Computer into a Zombie I will tell you that I personally do NOT do any social networking sites period, I just say NO. To each their own. Everyone needs to just be very aware and then make their own decision.

Zeetera..I'm not seeing a bar to the right of my screen that shows what my friends are currently doing on Facebook. OG..I did scroll down all the way and this is what I see. But, I did discover when I click on the "like" button, the "Comment" area opens up! See? And a couple of times, the little box to type the comment in, opens in the middle of the picture! Weird!!!

Thanks for the input. Will pass it along..ps..hope that's the answer she was looking for, eh!

Sorry JoAnn, I answered blfenton's question because here on Houzz, I have clicked to follow many folks and just didn't remember if I had followed her/him. I felt a bit guilty because I could have been someone creating anxiety to blfenton. I'm pretty sure that other than Sylvia, I have no crossover friends with Facebook, so felt no guilt or compulsion to speak up about your Facebook follower. On Facebook, you control who can follow you and see who is currently following you. You set your privacy settings to match your comfort level. If you click the down pointing arrow in the blue Facebook toolbar, choose Settings. If you choose Followers, you can see who is following you. If you wish to edit your privacy settings, choose Privacy from the left sidebar. You can see who sees your stuff, who can look you up and who can contact you. This is also where you make changes to only allow those that you are comfortable with 'seeing your stuff'. Obviously if someone cannot see your stuff (posts), they cannot follow you.
