Virus or Phishing scams all over facebook? - Lucy - 05-12-2013 01:40 AM

Is it just my friends, or are phishing scams for viruses all over facebook?! People are sending me links without realizing it, and stuff! Does anyone know any websites i have to stay away from?

I think something like 1 out of every 3 websites is currently infected. The best thing is to make sure your AV and all your applications like Java are up to date and stay away from adult sites. Even traditionally "safe" websites can be hacked w/o the admin's knowledge and used to get malicious stuff on your computer.

In Facebook,don't click on ANY of the ads;leave those things alone.Also,when a friend joins an application,they usually send out a link to all those freinds to join too.It's your choice to join,most I do not as most a just phishing for personal info.When you join an application,they have access to your profile so watch what you put on it.
