Flash; Koobface Worm Terrorizes Web!

Published by jefairweather at 10:05 am under Current Headlines, Human Interest Edit This

This is no joke.  A new and particularly nasty computer worm is invading social sites such as Facebook.  Known as the Koobface worm, it works to steal identities of anyone connecting through social sites.  Facebook has been targeted by five such threats in the past few weeks.  One disguised as a YouTube video, and one that asked for members ID’s and passwords.  (No reputable site will ever ask you for this information.)  The following site can give you some ideas on how to avoid getting a virus or other malware on your computer.  Don’t be afraid to check it out.  (http://campus.murraystate.edu/virus_computer.htm)
