Watch out for the “Koobface” Facebook Virus

My good friend Lisa Hendrickson (Call That Girl) in Minneapolis has a great newsletter and this is from the most recent send.  I thought itg would be of a lot of interest to our audience. 

The “Koobface” virus (Facebook’s big virus) is at it again and this time, hitting the Twitter folks too.

If you want to get your computer protected before something bad happens to your computer, call Lisa to get some good tools installed. Remember…Norton Symantec, McAfee and most of the big box antivirus software do not catch these viruses!

If you think your computer already has a virus or feel there is something strange going on, Lisa can remove these viruses and give you real time protection before you get infected again. It’s also a good idea to have this protection for just general web surfing anyway. Websites are getting hit too, not just Facebook.

Short list of things to watch out for:

  • Links sent to you from friends you don’t communicate often with
  • Broken english in the messages
  • Exciting messages (Check me out in this video I’m hilarious!)
  • Email hackers (Change your facebook password to not be the same as your email password)
  • Short website links instead of the full website link
  • Wall posts from others that don’t seem normal or appear strange
  • New Friends requests from people you don’t know in person
