what to do about a virus on iphone? - Nicole M - 04-30-2013 03:50 AM
My mom clicked on a bad link from a facebook message on her iphone then again on her mac. I told her it looked like a virus link but she didn't listen. Now the sender sent a message saying to not open any links from his account. Is there a facebook virus going around right now? What could it do to her iphone? I'm pretty sure she has protection on her mac but I'm not sure.

Koobface (the facebook virus) doesn't effect Macs so your fine.

Koobface.d is the latest worm going around on social networking sites. It does not affect Macs or iPhones. However, it does affect Windows users. I would suggest installing Norton Antivirus 11 on your Mac because you still have the ability to spread Windows viruses. There are also a growing number of Mac trojans.
