\"\"<\/a>A Facebook friend’s account just got hacked, and I’m getting numerous messages from her account sending me a video link.\u00a0 Since my name begins with A, I get lots of video spam messages sent to me, and I know not to open them.\u00a0 I told her, “What is happening is someone somehow hacked into your system.\u00a0 Don’t worry about how they did it, that will drive you crazy.\u00a0 Just get it fixed and say a lil prayer<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

She’s been talking to a Jeff Harrison in Ghana.\u00a0 She thinks he’s been scamming her and she reported him to Facebook.\u00a0 His profile is still up.\u00a0 She has been changing her password every day but he can still access her account.\u00a0 She thinks he has friended her under different names.\u00a0 She has reported them all.\u00a0 My computer dude said he could have created a mirror site to hers or all manner of nonsense, and the best thing to do is for her to create another Facebook account.\u00a0 It is a Facebook problem, not a computer problem, he says.<\/p>\n

I told her I use AVG Free virus software you can get free online at www.avgfree.com<\/a>. It’s a Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows 7, Vista and XP.\u00a0 I run it every time I close my computer down after being online. It captures any threats and takes care of them so they don’t get in.<\/p>\n

I also use CCleaner<\/a> which is a free program that removes all your temporary files and cookies (and passwords unless you tell it not to) out of the computer. These are the files that pile up and make your computer run slow. I run it every time I close my computer down.<\/p>\n

I am online all the time.\u00a0 I don’t download from people I don’t know.\u00a0 If it’s a name I know but I don’t know what they’re sending, I don’t open it, period.\u00a0 Like I don’t download games or free backgrounds or things like that.\u00a0 I have been using this system for several years now and have had no problems with viruses or system slowing down or anything.<\/p>\n

This is the order I do it in.\u00a0 When I’m finished with the computer for the day:
\nI run Ccleaner first.\u00a0 It takes like 1 minute.
\nThen I run AVG Free 9.0, which for my system can take 90 minutes.
\nI close the computer down.<\/p>\n

Every time you turn your computer off and back on, it kind of resets itself and fixes problems you may have been having with it.\u00a0 So when in doubt, always shut it off for 60 seconds and then back on.<\/p>\n

That solves lots of problems.\u00a0 And I’m all about solving problems.<\/p>\n
