Scan Facebook Link Before Openng

I received  a message from my brother’s son yesterday.

“Please be careful: some hackers have found something new. They take
your profile picture and your name and create a new FB account. Then
they ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so
they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they
want under your name. Please don’t accept a second friendship demand
from me, I have only one account. Copy this on your wall to keep
others informed”

I noted and bang came an email today from Facebook.

I scanned it.

Watch it.

Result.

Compared to in the past, when email was the key method for spreading viruses, our Virus Lab research shows that more than 80% of malware now spreads via the internet. More notably, only 1% comes from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites – the rest spreads via legitimate websites that have been hacked.

Yes, that was close, but relax…

avast! Free Antivirus is the minimum protection anyone should have against viruses and spyware. If you spend a lot of time online, however, you are naturally exposing yourself to greater threat. Fortunately, you can increase your security by adding more defensive layers.
