My Lion King Forum

Internet safety, that is. Figured this could be a good thread for people to discuss viruses, spyware, pedos, and software/precautions to (try to) prevent them all.

Since when would we not be allowed to discuss pedos here? o.O lol

But as long as we're on the topic of Facebook, I would like to warn you all never to accept friend requests from those profiles (not the pages, but profiles that use the name and image of cartoon characters rather than a real person (not that you should accept people you don't know, either). Those profiles are very often made by pedos (yes, I uttered the word again) to fool kids into friending them and thereby releasing everything in their Facebook to them. After all, what better way for a pedo to gain access to a kid's Facebook by using the identity of their favorite cartoon character?
NOTE: this has nothing to do with the change-your-profile-picture-to-a-cartoon-character meme that a lot of people participated in.

LOL, good... I was about to say... I participated in that cartoon character thing, and I'm certainly not a pedo. xD

D: What? I would never post a picuture of myself on facebook, pictures of you can go anywhere, once it's on the internet it never comes of it, believe me. That's why if anything I would be a cartoon character or a OC, because I roleplay on bebo (LOL) So it's the way i flow, and it's safer than posting a picture of yourself or family x3 Most of the time i recolor and make my own characters though, characters are so boring if you can mould them into whatever you want lol x3

This should be a fun topic...

lol I have tons of photos of myself on Facebook... that's why I try to guard it. xD

Always wear a... Oh you mean on line

What even is spyware? I had it a couple of months ago and my computer did not shut up about it until I downloaded a thing to remove it all.
Also you know what I hate about FaceBook, is how people can find you JUST by knowing where you work even. I had some Arabic people add me the other day just because they work in Cancer Research UK :/ and found me through that. I do not even work there any more.

Spyware is viruses meant to grab information from your computer and send it back to people who shouldn't have it.
