I just read it in the daily paper. Some kind of new facebook virus got loose, and sends a message to all your friends with a message and a link, which will make you download a virus that crash your operating system, and force you to format the harddrive. Have you got a such messages, or seen the link in any comments and so?

Really? I didn't know about this.. If that's true, would be a real bummer.. I sometimes open emails from friends on Facebook regarding gaming and etc.

i also have that message from friend with the link but i just ignore the link coz i know even before that if i received any link in my email even in chat i know it will direct you to certain site that will force you to signin or register as it hangup your pages and once you do then expect for a lot of trouble and problem it will cause to your computer. i just report them to facebook admin but i guess they just ignore it coz the messages still keep on coming again and again.

There are alway problems with viruses on facebook and there always will be as there are alot of groups on there that are the ones that also carry the virus problems aswell as there are alot of virus problems when people you except turn out to be people that you do not know.I think that when there are sites that are social sites that are known for the problem it is not a problem that only effects a few people as it effects their friends on their list aswell.

I have heard it from a friend just yesterday. I'm not sure how the virus looks like so thanks for the information. I'll try to be more careful in opening links in facebook. Good day!
