Intuition proves out!

Just got an email from Yahoo concerning Yahoo Messenger and that virus that destroyed my other computer. I haven't reinstalled it because I wasn't sure if my account/files/whatever might still be 'dangerous' - turns out I was right. The tech person said there was no guarantee that I couldn't infect my new machine by reinstalling YIM - so he suggested using "Yahoo Messenger on the Web" - not as many bells and whistles but I can chat with people just the same as with YIM. Which suits me just fine. So I'll be signing up for that instead.

Just goes to show - sometimes being dumb about techno stuff leads one down the right path anyway. :D

Facebook is more about keeping in touch with the people you know. I tend to share photos and all that sort of stuff with friends. It's okay as long as you say 'friends only' on stuff. You can keep it private, and you don't have to put all your info on there. I haven't.
