    This trojan actually put a comment on my facebook like I had done it myself and had a link to a Porn site. It was as if I signed in to my facebook and made these comments and added the link. I had my sister in California call me telling me the link was there and she knew I would not have done this. My Windows computer was down so I couldn't access
    my account to delete the link. It took me a day of hard work before getting my Windows unit back working so I could delete the comment and link.

    This Facebook trojan, one of the millions, has been around for a while. Its pretty hard to spot, but its easy to rid yourself of it (if you know how). Also, Facebook did not send it out. They spoofed the sender address to look like Facebook's. Well, unless you installed a app that contained the mechanism to send the email. Then it was sent by Facebook.

    happylabs: We call people like these "script kiddies". Teenagers with nothing better to do. They enjoy making people's lives miserable.

    Oh, the joys of the internet.
