Your Friend's Ex-Girlfriend is Spreading a Virus on Facebook

Media_httpmashablecom_dalrg

Again, as usual Facebook always been the place to spread viruses and worms. By using "attractive" words, they succesfully tricked most people into clicking into their link - that eventually will redirected to the site that will install virus on your computer.

This time, they use the "Ex-Girlfriend Cheated" trick and post it along with a picture of a chick half-nude - a very temping post for most people, perhaps men would like to click it more than women.

Whenever you see this kind of link or post, DO NOT click on it! I repeat DO NOT click.

Thanks to Mashable for the news [http://mashable.com/2010/01/29/facebook-revenge-worm/]
