There is a new breed of internet virus going around, and it's being spread through social networks such as Facebook. The worm, called Koobface, is being spread via a link that takes users to a YouTube-like page, then asking you to download a Flash upgrade. DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK. It gives someone access to your entire computer, including all files.

Scary!

Check this video from CNN about the Koobface killah:


Be careful out there, SocialVibers.

POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

there is something like this on youtube.
People put the links in video descriptions saying you can go to this link to see the next part to a video.

This is why you should never click on links without checking stuff out first.
