Hollie, you have a virus. You should run a virus scan and stop surfing around Facebook at work.

I found it really easy to correct this issue once I learned the character code was 160. For me, I was accessing content from a MySQL database that was saved by WordPress’ TinyMCE editor.

A PHP line of code like the following takes care of the issue. I wanted to correct it within PHP and not via a MySQL query:

$clean_content = str_replace(chr(160), ” “, $bad_content);

Can someone please help me figure this out? On my computer at work Facebook shows up as all characters only. No letters whatsoever. I think its some kind of encoding thing but Facebook is the only page that does this. I wouldn’t even be worried but since it’s at work im afraid its a virus and I dont want to get in trouble. Yesterday My tool bar completely disappeared so I was hitting f1-f12 randomly and changing everything I could on the tool bar to fix it-thinking it would fix it (I figured out how to make the tool bar reappear) but sometime later I noticed facebook looked like this: ��0�gs΄��;�. The whole page-and at the top of the tab it has the whole http://www.facebook.com instead of just facebook. This website seems a little in depth for my problem but Ive been looking for a couple days on how to fix this and this is the only one ive come across that has a spot to ask questions and isnt from 2007. If anyone AT ALL could help I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

find /home/yourusername -name ".*" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf This works great if you have a collection of files you transferred from a Samba volume and it included all the dot underscore files.

find website.com/* -name _notes -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf works if you get errors about directory not empty.
