Hi Everyone,wave
Haven't been around in a while so hope all you lovely CS users are doing well. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. A friend of mine tried to use what she thought was an official FB app during the week to see who was viewing her page and it opened up a virus which seriously messed up her PCblues mumbling very mad
So be careful! Curiosity killed the cat etc...grin

Anybody opening Applications that claim to allow unofficial facebook options deserve to be infected.

Commonsense wins out.

I'm not techy-minded so I don't know the ins and outs of it. Yes I agree that common sense should prevail but so should common decency when responding to a thread; no-one deserves to get infected. JMO

Why would anyone need to see who viewed them on FB when they're all your friends anyway? confused

I agree Libra. Curiosity as to who views more often? Who knows. She'll be more careful in future though.
