Another new virus hits Facebook

facebook-virusIn just 2 days, the new virus has managed to infect over 100,000 Facebook.

For the past few days, a young man has appeared on Facebook and has already infected 100,000 accounts.

The virus appears in the user's Newsfeed as a tag from a video post made by a Facebook friend, giving the user a link to watch the video. If the user clicks on it, a message appears asking them to install a Flash update.

Of course, the installation that occurs if you click OK is not Flash, but malicious software that infects the user's computer and sends the same message that he received to his Facebook friends..

On Facebook's part, it has managed to limit the virus as much as possible so that it does not spread throughout the network, while asking users to be careful with the "strange" links they are sent.
