Thanks Peter,
That did the trick.I would only add that in IE select tools,and then internet options.This will lead to the security tab.

Question:

I don't care for facebook,and see it as a personal information gathering site for the Govt.and more.Does this direct link into facebook provide an avenue for govt. information collection from DPF?

Just Askin'

I don't care for Facebook either. But the fact is a vast number of people use it as the hub of their internet activity.

I take your point about Govt snooping. But it's simply a fact of life I'm afraid. The entire Internet is one vast snooping/spying machine really; especially by those with the specialist technology to undertake it systematically - by which I mean 'you-know-who'. No doubt DPF - Facebook linked traffic IS another metric for them to use but I doubt it's much of a priority. If DPF is deemed worthy of their attention, it will receive it and there really is bugger all to be done about it (though the encryption makes real-time content monitoring a tad more problematic for them).

Just assume you are being watched that's all - Facebook or no Facebook. That's my default attitude.
