Warning! – Facebook Does NOT Have A "Dislike" Button  There's a new Facebook scam making the rounds and it's taking advantage of a non-existent Facebook feature many users crave: the "Dislike" button. This scam falsely claims to offer such a button and spreads in the form of links that appear to be from friends.
If you see a Facebook status update containing the message, "I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!" or "Get the official DISLIKE button now" followed by a link, you should know that it's another one of many scams designed to extract your personal data. It tries to trick you into completing a survey, thereby gaining access to your profile and the ability to spam your friends. Again, there is currently no official Facebook "Dislike" button—just the "Like" button. The scam is a good reminder not to click on suspicious links on Facebook, especially if they promise something that sounds impossible or unlikely. If you've fallen for the scam, remove the offending app(s) from your Facebook profile and remove the related message from your status, News Feed, and Likes and Interests in the "Edit My Profile" menu.

This Month's FAQ – Why Don't Pictures Within E-Mail Messages Automatically Show Up?
Question: I often have e-mail messages in my inbox that don't display the graphics. Instead, it says, "To protect your privacy, some pictures in this message were not downloaded." What's this all about?
Answer: The default setting on most e-mail software does not allow users to see graphics automatically when opening an e-mail. This is for security reasons; rogue software contained within such graphics can infect computers when users view the graphics in their e-mail preview pane. In addition, graphics are not automatically displayed in order to protect your privacy and help prevent spammers from knowing that your e-mail account is active.
