I’m not sure what “facebook” is but someone mentioned it earlier and I just got this warning from my internet provider. So wanted to make sure any facebook users were aware of this!

https://www.cornerstonenow.com/newsletter/graphics/grandrivermo/divpxl.gifIf you’re on Facebook, be aware that a fast-spreading worm called Koobface is targeting users and trying to steal personal information such as credit card details. The Koobface worm sends a message to the Facebook user, supposedly from a friend, that says things like “you look funny in this new video” or “is it u there?” After clicking on the video link, the user is asked to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
the boyfriend already introduced me to it on his computer lol. in vista you can do a system restore and get rid of it but dont know if that works with xp or not. i heard it doesn’t but don’t know from experience

I’ve done a system restore for that worm before on XP. It did get rid of it.
