Just don't be stupid. End of story. Same with every virus spread by IM or e-mail.

Sorry, mysterious .exe files in my e-mails are not installed to my computer.

If you use some ****ing common sense you won't have to worry about it.

Re: Virus on facebook

How dumb do you have to be to fall for this? Seriously.

"My friend catched you on hidden cam. LOL"

I don't usually pay attention to messages like that, even if they're from my friends. Put grammar into your spam, people. D:

I'm afraid to click the link you set up there. Because whenever someone complains of a virus, and posts the link, that usually leads to trouble.

And, come on, just get AVG Free or something. It will warn you about the object before you install it...

The link is legit. There would be mayhem if the link lead to trouble as you put it.

P.S. AVG Free isn't really the best software. There are lots of loopholes in anti-virus software.

Re: Virus on facebook

If an .exe is 17kb, then CLEARLY some kind of alarm should be going off in your head.

If it's only 17kb then the person posting the virus is dumb. They should have bound it with an actual codec setup that is really obscure so that barely anyone would have it. Therefore, when the person downloads it, it would be installed and they would be taken to the video, but this time, it would've said "Video has been removed". Also, I bet you that if you bound it with an actual setup, then some AV's wouldn't catch it.

But this is theoretical and I'm not a hacker or anything
