Sneakiest Computer Viruses
Facebook Virus
We know you may love those funny videos your friends send to you on Facebook, but you may have to forgo clicking on any links from friends in the near future. That's because a Trojan horse that purports to be a legitimate e-mail from a Facebook friend actually contains W32.Koobface worm, which looks for a cookie on your computer that enables it to take over your Facebook account and send itself to all your friends! Here's what to watch out for: E-mails that have flattering subject lines about who a hot crush someone has on you, or how great you look in some video.
The e-mail itself will have a link to a YouTube like link that leads you to a fake YouTube page. On that page, you're asked to download a video player upgrade. Whatever you do, don't download and install that upgrade, or your machine will be infected. But before you even get to that point, you might just double-check with your friends who like to send videos to make sure what they've sent is legit. It may take the fun out of video sharing, but better safe than sorry!
