they have already posted a new version, so the problem doesn't exist anymore. But it caught out a few million people I 
believe.

Cheers Don...

Most of the problems are fixed but the malware does not go away once you
install the update.

report my 64bit version is clean

Don't need it don't trust it

I am trying to make friends outside. of Facebook 
while applying the same pnciples. 
Therefore, every day I walk down the street 
and tell passers-by what I have eat how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later and with whom. 
I give them pictures of my family, my dog and of me gardening,
 taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing
 in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch and doing
 what anybody and everybody does every day. 
I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up" 
and tell them I like them. 
And it works just like Facebook! 
I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator and a psychiatrist.
