Facebook Malware and what to do
I recently received an unusual message/app request on my facebook page:
This is an example of Facebook malware. These work like computer malware infections. The main purpose is to steal your personal information. So... in general, I don' to any Facebook apps, though I occasionally violate the rule. I make sure that my security settings are appropriate to do this. Unfortunately, many of the apps want my email address, etc, which makes me vulnerable to real computer malware.
