Facebook Virus

Image via WikipediaI went on Facebook at the end of August and the first night I was on there I downloaded a virus through an app I put on. There is a report of a new one which is quite nasty because it infects your friend’s computers as well. It is important to have good anti virus software and good cleaning programmes. Facebook does become unstable from time to time because it has millions of users and it is a massive network. There are bound to be malicious people within this network. My way of dealing with it is to have the tools on board to clean my computer and then apply some common sense. There was a Facebook virus which got onto my sister’s computer and it was confusing her and making it hard to type things. I tracked it down and got rid of it. Not everyone is confident on a computer. I do believe Facebook is very quick to shut down malicious activity as soon as it becomes aware of it. It does do what it can to keep the site stable but every once in a while you get the idea it’s gone flighty again. Given what a massive network it is , I think it does an admirable job of keeping it running as smoothly as it can and certainly a darn site better than the less complicated and far smaller work place networks. I always make sure I clean up my computer when I go off line. Keeps interference to a minimum. One day we’ll have automatic filters for all this stuff.
