  1. I have not found normal fan noise to be a problem. However, as computers get older (months not years) the fans sometimes get noisy because of bad bearings or just because they are cheap. I have replaced a number of these from various websites that sell computer parts, making sure they are the same size and type, and that takes care of it.

      They have your picture because you have gave them permission to do so when you signed up to facebook, no doubt without checking out the privacy issues or reading the terms and conditions.

      You need to go to your facebook settings and select privacy, so that no apps can access your images. In addition, make sure that no one can access your images, except maybe, friends.
