Facebook question

Post by TOONGA » Thu Aug 06, 2015 9:59 am

So occasionally while using my ANDROID phone to view the site at work, my phone will be redirected to a facebook site saying the page isn't available. It doesn't matter which browser I use I get the message at least once a day.

When it happens I must clear my browsing history and sometimes restart the phone.

Ive even scanned my phone with antivirus software installed on the phone and using my desktop computer, but I have no viruses according to the software.

Anyone else being taken over by facebook ?

I'm on the mobile now, have always said no to taps talk and have never signed in linked to Facebook.

I've never been directed from here to bookface and I'm currently logged in there via another window.

My phone'sbeen an iPhone 4 so will definitely be different to your setup. Have you got the bookface app installed? That could be keeping tabs on you!

Cheers

No facebook app or account as an ex-teacher I have no desire to be stalked by my "ex-students"

I get the tapatalk request as well, I've since had the the current moon app decide it was a facebook app as well. I'm thinking firefox has a problem on android, as when using google chrome Ive not had any problems at all.
