Facebook Can be Harmful to Your Computer

  I came across this article that said Facebook was being attacked with a Koobface Worm virus for the fifth time in a span of one week. The worm has even wiggled its way onto other social networking sites. In the latest attack, researchers at Trend Micro discovered that a user receives a link that appears to be a message from a Facebook friend. After the user clicks on the link a legitimate-looking YouTube page pops up. The YouTube page is even complete with fake comments from "viewers." The video appears to come from the "friend" that sent the user the link, along with his or her name and a pulled Facebook profile photo. In order to view the video, the user is prompted to install a version of Adobe(NSDQ:ADBE) Flash Player, which is actually malicious code that unloads a variant of the Koobface worm once the user hits "install." 

People need to be careful and aware of what they open on the internet. People may think Facebook is a trusted site but even it has its faults.
