Is it me or did FaceBook became a site thatll most likely give you a virus?
Even since it changed its layout, they allowed those annoying ads to show up on the sides such as those Free Cursors, Evony, How to "" using this (whatever) trick, etc. ads. Apparently ever since, I get those Antivirus/Guardian 2010 viruses almost every time im doing my things in FB. And yes, this only occurs in FB and no, I did not have this virus before; i got it from being on the new FB. Any comments?

you are probably right so my advice is to keep your security up date. Most people are looking for "free" stuff including security so just remember you get what you pay for. Buy & I repeat BUY a good reliable anti virus program that updates on a regular basis & run a scan a couple times a week. if you don't olock your car someone will steal it

you are obviously internet sav vy so just why
are you clicking on those ads and obvious malware links.

the crap is everywhere not just on face book .
why not use your knowledge and guide others to steer clear of that crap.

Lot's of people are being attacked by the Fake Antivirus on Farmtown in Facebook. I had not heard of anyone being attacked on just the Facebook home page but I guess it is possible. It probably has something to do with Java Scripting. Make sure you have all the latest updates for your Internet Explorer. Also do not click on any links in Facebook because some are virus infested. Also do not click on any utube videos your friends may be sending you which says LOOK AT THIS or something similar. Some people have a virus on their computer or else their account has been hacked and these are being sent out. I was on Facebook for 2 years and never had an infection but I just deleted my account. Not taking any more chances.
