Facebook Koobface Virus
« on: December 20, 2009, 05:19:02 AM »
You have NO idea how sick I am of telling people about this that get infected with it. Yes, I know how old this info is.

Don't follow any links that say you were in a video unless you ask the person that posted it on your wall. If you go to it and it says you need to "update your Flash player". Don't do it!

Don't go to a site if they IM it to you unless you are talking or kind of talking to them that day.

Koobface is a worm that has been going around Facebook and getting into people computers. Mainly by directing you to a website that has you "update your Flash player". That update is the worm in which infects your PC and it sends people links through Facebook so they can get infected as well. If you send something that you didn't send, that's a major symptom of the Koobface worm.

No, the worm didn't send this.
This is what the "update" looks like.

For more info, go to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koobface

Same here. Four of my friends got it in the past 2 weeks. And I figured that number out by them sending me random IM's to random sites. I'm sure the number is higher than that.

Yay, Segahub group. http://www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?customize&gid=211332538537#/group.php?gid=211332538537

YEAH! Now it'll be hard to get others to join. Not enough people know about this site and use Facebook at the same time.

I thought it be worth mentioning that at least for me the link to the facebook group doesn't work, it just takes me to the facebook homepage. I found it myself easy enough but the link wouldn't work...

I was. The one that you just posted and the one in your signiture work(which I never noticed before) but the one you posted earlier doesn't for some reason. It's really a none issue, when you search segahub on facebook not much else comes up :P.

*Edit: I suppose that means your up to 5 members now :)
