There are reports of a new Facebook virus on the lose and like all predecessors it fetches all those who are very clicky with links. We have warned users a countless times already about these links making way to their mail boxes on Facebook and yet many of our very own readers fall prey to these. Repeating ourselves here; if you do see any of your contact sending you links quite desperately, just ignore if it appears anything close to suspicious.
The current link would download a software to your machine that would infest your machine of all sorts of malicious software. More importantly it would also install a program that will very likely highjack your passwords. Upon clicking the link you will be displayed with a new page that says that you need to rest your Facebook password and the same time download the attachment. Be careful and just delete the mail like it never existed.
We would really appreciate if you could spread the word across and help protect the countless other users fro falling prey to this latest scam.
