I recently changed my internet provider from AT&T DSL to AT&T Uverse. The Uverse Antivirus software had a problem so I had to turn it off while ATT was investigating.
I received an Email from Facebook saying a friend had made a comment and it had a link for me to go to Facebook to view the comment.This is something that I had received in the past so I had no idea it was not legit. When I clicked on the link a trojan was released in my computer that made it impossible for me to connect to anything else on the network. I ultimately had to re format my hard drive and I'm in the process of reinstalling all of my other software.
To add insult to injury it took my friends list and sent the same trojan to each of them. It also added a comment on facebook that was suppose to be from me that was a link to a PORN site. I have been sending apologies to all my friends with a warning to be aware of the problem.
If you get an Email from Facebook do not use the link to check out any comments. Go directly to facebook and be careful of any links with "video" in any part of the title. It was a costly lesson for me.
The trojan came through my friends facebook and it appears it originated in Romania. Evidently he has not recovered from the trojan himself because he still has a link to a Porn site that he hasn't deleted yet. BE CAREFUL
