It was bound to happen folks. All them ads and stuff MS sneaks into your start menu and other places, finally caught up to them. Lol
Just like McAfee did with Windows XP
"and label Facebook a phishing site"
Well, that's accurate at least.
Guess I'm not the only one who distrusts the site, then. I was beginning to think I was all alone because everyone I know [except me] spends hour after hour there doing stuff I just can't be bothered with.
I don't know about the phishing because I never go there anymore, but I do know Facebook is a spammer. I went there just once to sign up, but a wise friend expressed some concerns about security and privacy so I never went back as a user, yet I got hundreds and hundreds of emails about people and things that didn't interest me in any way.
It went on for weeks and I sent several emails asking them to cease and desist, but it continued unabated despite my requests and even trying to close my account. I even went to the extreme of getting my email account closed and opening another... all to no avail. Somehow Facebook found my new account, so I also closed it and went with another provider using slightly different credentials. I finally got peace, and thus, I'll never ever go to Facebook again: I don't care who's on there or who asks me to, it just ain't happening.
