Hi Darryl Even if you don't, some sites you visit may link back to FB (Check for "like this" or similar). If so and if you use WinXP and IE8, you may experience that whenever you open such site, Windows resource usage at once raises from the few percent in idle mode to about 30% because of services.exe doing something unknown - probably some phone-home-to-FB thingy. It may be so aggressive that it eats every second or third keystroke you do while IE8 has focus. A method to kill this misbehaviour is to go to Options .. Security and add to the "dirty" (non-secure) list of sites: *.facebook.com Bingo! Usage drops to a few percent. /gustav PS: I think we are 10 people. >>> darryl at whittleconsulting.com.au 15-12-2011 23:21 >>> I am one of the 9 people on the planet who doesn't use FB at all -
