Is anyone getting spam messages that appear to be from FaceBook? - Jason - 02-28-2013 01:04 PM

I keep get suspicious messages on on my email. They are messages on what appear to be my friends. They don't usually seem like something they would send. So I go to the link below and a window pops up. It says "Reported Attack Site" and I have not gone further than that. If its a virus I really want those low-life criminals arrested. It gets me so angry. Thank you if you answered.

I would ask your "so called friends" about it. Then start from there

most social networking sites are infected and usually the links are how they get you just keep your security up to date and use a firewall i recommend comodo firewall pro or their security suite or a good site adviser can help

it might be a variation of the koobface virus. dont click on them if possible, just to be safe. the koobface virus steals your password and uses your account to spread spam if you click on the links.
