Be on the lookout for this one. It's a rogue spyware/malware that will falsely tell you that your machine is infected and offer to remove the infections from your machine for $49.99 or $70 for a whole year's worth of protection. It is just a phishing site and will drag every nasty virus, worm, or anything else it can get hold of onto your machine. It must also be a worm, because it went all through my machine and I had to restore EVERYTHING. My machine is still not back to normal. DO NOT click on something that says "see who accessed your profile" on Facebook. I did and this is where I got the worm. It is a pain in the buttocks to try to get rid of and I was never able to until I finally just totally wiped my machine and started over. Be careful and stay safe.

Facebook will become Myspace and it will take some time before it becomes like that. This is why I stopped using social networking. I'd rather use my email to check on my friends.

There are a lot of nasty trojans about at the moment. I just wouldn't click on anything that told me it had discovered a virus. I'd go to my own AV and get it to scan. I have malwarebytes installed also which is very good at removing this trojan.

It is a nasty little thing though. I am still trying to get everything I had loaded on my machine back. All of the updates and all are gone along with some pictures that I had downloaded of my granddaughter. Drat!
