Caution Facebook Trojan can kill your computer

Hmm. It seems that the more places one is registered, the more potential "holes" in your firewall. I'm connected to only a very few places and most of them (at least I hope!) are secure (banks and the like.) I guess having a good firewall, malware protection and passwords all help too!

You can have the best security in the world, but it wouldn't protect you if the problem is between the keyboard and the chair (you). Always watch what you do online: practice good internet surfing habits, dont open unknown files, etc. The person operating the computer is the weakest link in the security chain.

Ah, yes, the dreaded PEBCAK error!
