Be Careful, Facebook Virus

You may have already known about this, but I just want to remind about this virus, it's true that the virus maker will never be scared to spreading to computer in entire world. Since the establishment of internet, then the virus spreading system has used this technology as a main bridge to infect the victim.

By internet, the victim number has become high, but the antivirus maker never shortage of idea to blocking the virus attack comes from internet, through email or chat service such MiRC and other.

But how about if the virus use social network the popular one in internet, such facebook, MySpace, MyYearbook, and the social network doesn't know that the virus has used this sites as their way to infect. Koobface is the name of trojan recently attack facebook also known as facebook virus. This virus keep spreading outside the facebook to attack the other social network such Bebo, MySpace, Friendster, MyYearbook etc.

Koobface could be the first successful worm used the social network as the new way of virus spreading. This virus is not directly infect the computer, but using name of facebook sent by email. So we can imagine if user receive the email from facebook and informs about package, usually facebook just sends link only, then the user 90% will click that link. Then if the user click that link, it can be sure that the user computer will be infected by that worm. It causes the link is just a fake link, so ask the user to update and download their flash, in fact it's not flash but the virus.

So we have to be careful...
