How do I get my mom to let me have a Facebook when she is worried about me getting viruses on my computer?

Facebook is riddled with viruses. The worst is the Koobface virus, which posts links to your profile which appear to be from your friends.

In a way, your mum is right. You probably WILL get a virus if she lets you have a Facebook profile.

The only way to convince her is to RESEARCH KOOBFACE. Figure the little fucker out. It's a terrible virus which sits in your hard drive trying to steal your identity.

Go to YouTube and type Koobface into the search box...... watch some vids.

Then type koobface facebook into the search box..... watch some vids.

In particular.... find out how to remove facebook viruses from your hard drive.

Then ask your mum again. She'll see that you're serious about avoiding viruses.

...........imagine if you skipped along and leaped straight up onto Facebook and all of a sudden all your mum's credit cards were being used by someone else, accounts drained, drivers license being used as I.D. in the commission of crimes... email addresses sold to black market spammers.... this is what Koobface hackers do with your hard drive.

mwah

good luck with ya mum...... yeah someone else on here said tell her half a billion people cope just fine.... but this would not be true..... lots of people have been disabled by viruses.

Do the right thing kid.
