Avoiding Koobface Facebook Virus

1 This virus hides in a WIndows directory, under the guise of 'freddy35.exe', and takes control of your computer by spreading itself to others from your computer. Messages that LOOK like they are from friends may contain the links as well. Investigate before you click. Often the subject will contain lines similar to these: Funny Moments, Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf on the Street, My friend catched you on hidden cam, There may be a link to a YouTube video as well

2 Do NOT click on any links on these sites. The worm is often found in your inbox!

3 Now that you know what to watch for, be SURE you have an active firewall and an up to date virus protection
