Just an FYI to all of you who LOVE Facebook....so do the virus creators and internet worm spammers etc etc....
because....they can click trigger you into redirecting your browser to where they want and plant things on your browser and through Facebook....
Please do not click on videos or links that redirect you!!!! Some will ask you to join so you can view the info on the video and share it with others....
One in particular I received today was about a girl who killed herself after her parents posted her on FB....this is one of them......here's the info on it:
"If you click on the link then you are taken to a Facebook page which says you have to like it in order to view the father's alleged message. In some cases, the page will use clickjacking techniques to trick you into sharing the page as a status update with your online friends, but the end result is the same - you'll be directed to a webpage which asks you to complete a survey.
And that's what makes money for the scammers who create these pages.
If you believe you may have been hit by this attack, view the recent activity on your news feed and delete entries related to the above links. Furthermore, you should view your profile, click on your Info tab and remove any of the pages from your "Likes and interests" section.
You should also check which third party applications you have allowed to access your profile, and revoke the rights of anything suspicious via Account/ Privacy Settings/ Applications and Websites."
Check your settings on FB and be safe in the World Wide Web
