Post [FOX 31] Beware of Facebook Virus
Quote:
Facebook users are being targeting by a malicious virus that can wipe out your computer.

The new attack uses a two-layer approach.

First robbing you of your Facebook user name and password.

And then installing a dangerous virus.

And it's very scary what this latest virus can do, and how easily it can infect your computer.

isint it always something with facebook?

In most cases it begins by asking you to change your Facebook password, or saying it's been reset because your account has been compromised.
