Here are some tips for safe browsing on Facebook

1. No such thing as a Free Lunch

When someone sends you a ‘gift’ and you are asked to allow the application access to your profile, remember that you are sharing that information with people you do not know, and they might not be trustworthy.
if in doubt – don’t run it

2. Privates on parade?

Learn to manage your privacy settings.

There are choices for how people can view your profile, photos, personal information etc.
You can choose only your friends, friends of friends, even everyone.
Make sure you know who can see you and what they can see.

3. Emails – cloak & daggers

Hiding false links in an email is easy – taking you to a site that looks like facebook but it’s really a mask
As you enter your details, they are being stolen and stored!
Beware of emails coming from FaceBook.
NEVER click on a link in an email which is supposed to have come from FaceBook.
It is always better to go to the FaceBook website – eg type into your browser directly and login there

4. Say ‘NO’ to Trojan horses

Some FaceBook applications or adverts will try and download toolbars, or change settings on your computer.
Be sure to read every alert and do not just click allow or yes to everything.
Some of these toolbars are very malicious and extremely difficult to remove after they have been installed

The taskbar has undergone a facelift. We’ve enabled large icons by default (as seen in Windows 1.0 and also an option of Quick Launch since Windows 95 with IE 4). This affords a richer icon language, improves identification of programs and improves targeting for both the mouse and touch. Yet, one of the most important advantages large icons provide is a means to promote the taskbar as the central place to launch everyday tasks. We joke that the new taskbar is the “beachfront property of the Windows OS” and in turn, we are already seeing many people populating the UI with their commonly used programs. Somewhat if a visual trick, the taskbar is only 10 pixels (at 96 DPI) higher than its Vista counterpart (when used as a single row, since multiple rows are still supported, along with positioning around the screen edges).

If you are thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 then give us a call.
