I'm on the cusp of doing the same. Because I'm disgusted, not mad.
PS - love that avatar SiN.

learn how to use a hosts file correctly for your appropriate o.s. can solve a lot of these problems - ads/adware/spyware/trackers etc... in a simple fashion. sometimes you give up functionality, some places check to see if there ads fire or not etc most don't. I don't use facebook so i can't say about that...

here is an example http://someonewhocares.org/hosts on its use, there are others, always check to make sure if you download a hosts file from somewhere the links go to nothing in all cases.

Oh well psa of sorts

L-A

facebook is bad mmkay =D. I'll never join!

Spybot Search & Destroy, as well as other programs, I'm sure, have an Immunization feature that will automatically add bad sites and whatnot to your host file for you. And it's free. We use it up here at work.
