Ironically we rather spend our hard-earned cash buying the most entertaining iPhone Apps out there but wouldn’t spend a dime on a yearly paid-subscription anti-virus software. If that’s the case, installing a free anti-virus is the only way huh or more specifically Avast! Free Antivirus 5.0, the company’s latest anti-virus software for home users.

Kuala Lumpur, March 12, 2010 – It’s not easy being ‘friends’ and now it is getting downright dangerous as the Koobface worm returns with a vengeance infecting social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, according to Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions.
The malicious Koobface program(an anagram of Facebook) targets sites such as Facebook and Twitter and uses compromised legitimate websites as proxies for its main command and control server, attempting to gather sensitive information from the victims such as credit card numbers. It was first detected in December 2008 and a more potent version appeared in March 2009 and it is unfortunately back again in 2010.
Just yesterday we received a hard disk which was having a major virus dilemma. Our client told us that they were unable to login to the system (Windows XP) and previously experienced slowness in the system. Upon booting into Windows, the user profile loads momentarily but resets afterwards therefore unable to launch the desktop. So, we decided to install and test ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 onto our system. If you have followed our post, we actually did a review months back for the beta version of ESET NOD32 Smart Security 4.
It seems that starting yesterday many Facebook.com users are facing similar trends “Your friend tagged you in a photo”. But upon opening the photo, it is a photo of a popular game Sims 2. Some of the photos are titled “The Sims 3757″ and “The Sims 4655″. What seems to be the problem is that 150 over people were tagged in the same photo and the photo owner was not the person who uploaded the photo.
How did it get uploaded in the first place? Could it be some rogue application the user has allowed access into their profile? Some users even reported that their Facebook Wall was bombarded with hundreds of announcement. The photo also comes with a suspicious link (hxxp:\tryntry.com) that we suggest you not to visit as to not compromise your Facebook account details.
For the time being, please delete the photo from your album until we hear further news from Facebook.com.
