Facebook is a social network application, that we use on our computers, smart phones and other devices to keep in touch. We can  post photo’s, check to see how our friends are doing and even play games, such as Farmsville2. There is a lot to do with Facebook. It keeps us in the loop with our families and friends.

Today, we start by looking at  Facebook messenger. The one we will be looking at is at http://www.facebookmessenger.biz

Whenever you download a program, make sure to use a limited account.

Below is a link on why choosing a limited or Administrator account is best

Limited user or Administrator

Sometimes, we are searching the web and we see something like Facebook Messenger and we don’t notice that it is not from Facebook, then the computer starts acting wacky and we can’t seem to figure out why. If you move your mouse across the screen, and it doesn’t actually stay in one place moves a little chances are you probably have Malware or a Virus.

  Malware Bytes is one of the programs that I use. This program is quite enough for getting rid of malware.   After downloading be sure that you click on the update tab. The link below will help on how to best run the program.

Free Malware Bytes

click on the link below to download  Malware Bytes :

When you get to the website at http://www.FacebookMessenger.biz , at the bottom is a disclaimer that this site is not endorsed, operated or endorsed by Facebook Once downloaded, there are several things that come up, if you use the custom install you can get rid of most of these pesky issues by clicking decline, However, Malware Bytes will still find about 6-8 malware infections,

Upon testing the application, if you just install without using the custom installation, you are going to have around 542 Malware infections  on your computer.

Should you accidentally download this program, make sure to download Spybot: Search and Destroy, along with ZoneAlarm firewall. As of this writing   however ZoneAlarm does work on Windows 8, just not the upgrade to 8.1

below is a link for Spybot: Search and Destroy

ZoneAlarm Firewall and Anti-virus.

To prevent Facebook Messenger from loading after you download the Zonealarm free firewall, Click on the firewall, this will take to Application Control, find Facebook Messenger, left click, you will have options, click Kill, a warning will pop-up, click OK, and do this for each Facebook entry, you also want to remove the program by going to Programs and Features, find Facebook Messenger and click Uninstall.

Which brings us to the conclusion that  downloading Messenger from the official Facebook Website is the only safe place.

Be Safe and God Bless

iPhone – “Do not disturb”

Hi, everybody, today we are going to be talking about the “Do not disturb “feature on the iPhone.  This is setting is used to allow your phone to be one, but, if you’re a evening sleepier, maybe you don’t want somebody waking you for whatever reason.  So to begin with go to settings,  switch the “do not disturb” from off to on. Touch the notifications tab below, here you will see “do not disturb“, touch on this then  Notifications. Tap  “Do not Disturb” here you see Scheduled below this will be the time that you want the  iPhone, not to disturb you while you are sleeping. Don’t worry if you have set the alarm, it will still go off. Now you can also choose, if you want to receive certain calls, to do this just touch “Allow calls from”, this will give you a set of choices either everyone, no one, or your favorites. You will know when it is on, by the half shaped moon at the top of the Apple main screen.

I know how  locations services can be very helpful,  when using as a GPS,  to get directions.  However, You might find that your battery will drain more quickly when it is on.   To shut off  Locations services,  go to the” Home Screen” touch the settings icon, then Privacy, then Locations to switch Off.

Setting the password is also something that is needed. To do this touch Settings, then General, turn on Passcode, enter passcode, you will have to do this twice. Then touch “require passcode” it will give you some choices of how long you want before the screen is locked  having you to re-enter the password, these are from Immediately, to 1-5 minutes. Good Luck, God Bless. God Gets the Glory!!!!
