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.

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.

I take it from your post that you are logged in. Maybe you need to download a program --like Adobe flash player or update your programs to be able to do some things??? I'm not sure. I think facebook has a lot of problems. Originally my name would only come up every now and then when I or someone searched for it -- It was very strange. I contacted them and they did fix it (thankfully), but it just doesn't seem like something that should he be happening -- I mean my name should either come up or not -- why only sometimes come up? -- what program does "sometimes"???... That's a Huge glitch. My girlfriend mentioned that she can't receive stuff (food, smiles, etc) when she does it freezes her phone (she's using her phone) so maybe it has something to do with the system you are using??? Hope you figure it out; let us know if you do. I would bet your log in setting is just set wrong (like my name was). Have you tried changing your password and re-logging in just to see if that would help? Good luck.

We have better luck on Nextdoor when we were selling items and now that we're giving it away we only use ND. Generally those people are only in your local area, but I have a lady who likes my antiques and she comes up from Cameron (I'm in Raleigh) which is about an hour away. We met over ND. I've gotten used to the nonchalant responses on social media selling. Some are extremely presumptuous and others are ghosts after the first engagement. If I want to get rid of the item, even a free item, I have to be organized, responsive, and respectful. I found that when people put stuff on an online marketplace they're lazy about it. I don't realize that you have to respond to people, you have to answer questions, and you have to be available for it to be picked up or at least put it somewhere where it can be picked up when you're not home. Pretty easy things to do but I understand that some sellers are bad at it. When I post things, it's explicit with lots of pictures so there's no doubt what I'm trying to move. I try to look it up online to see if there's any provenance I can put with it if I don't have it myself. I've successfully moved to antique beds, antique radio, three antique dressers, antique tools, and lots of whatnots and whose it's. As for the artisanal bread not being selected at a food bank, they weren't going to buy it at the store in the first place. It being free wasn't going change their interest in it.
