   Thanks Susan for your input. More comments below:   
   I found on my home FB page a video and the message said that I had sent it.   
   I noticed it on 'others' FB friends sites also. I did not send any videos   
   and mentioned it on FB. The video seems to have disappeared from my FB   
   'whatever it is called'. This disturbs me!!!   
   And another thing. I have clicked on a highlited area because I am curious   
   about what it will do. And then some headings from my computer pops up.   
   Different emails (by subject) that I have sent a long time ago and some more   
   recently. This disturbs me also....!   
   I know it is important to be careful and I am or think I am but when FB is   
   able to reach into my computer and pick out 'stuff' then I think being   
   careful is not enough. There is something else happening that I am not aware   
   of and it bothers me that these things happen for no explainable reason and   
   they were not authorized by me....
