When I try to log onto Facebook, either on my home computer or on my work computer, I get a warning that malware may have infected my computer. Both computer are Macbooks. It gives me a link to [link] and says to run the anti-virus software there, and then click a box to certify that I've run it, but there isn't any antivirus software there to run -- there's just information about how to say what apps are allowed to run. Is this something I need to worry about?

Hard to believe, but it's probably malware.

I suggest downloading the free Malwarebytes for Mac [link] it's worth trying.

Thanks. I did a scan with Avira, and it found nothing, so I figured it's probably OK. It seemed weird to get the alert on two different computers.

Well, I've decided that in January - assuming I get an actual raise and not one like last year's where my take-home pay went DOWN after the "raise" kicked in - that I'll upgrade to an actual smartphone. I've been using my old flip phone (try not to laugh - I'll get enough of that when I turn it in).

Any suggestions for which phone? Basically, I want to make phone calls and do a little texting; my hair salon has gone to text-only reminders and the dumbphone won't let me reply. When I try to hit "c" to confirm, it autocorrects to "Cab" ... NOT the message I want to send.

Well, if you are looking for just the basics, I'm pretty happy with my Moto E that costs like $50.

Todd, I used a flip phone until February of this year. I use a Moto G, which is either the model before Gud's Moto E, or the one after it, and it's great for basic stuff.

My needs are few and simple ... thanks for the info!

The Moto G (and probably the Moto E) is also one of the smallest smartphones, dimenson-wise. I don't know if that makes a difference to you or not. Most definitely bigger than a flip phone, but smaller than most smartphones out there.

In this case, size really doesn't matter (snerk).

Dad has a Moto ...not sure which one. I highly advise you get a casE for your phone. And if the case doesn't have a built in screen protector one of those as well.

I drop my phone a lot.

I have a Speck case with a Zagg glass shield and I had to replace the shield recently. . I sat on the phone and the shield cracked bit not the actual phone. Fir full protection Otterbox is good and they have a warranty on their cases.
