Facebook Has 4 New Viruses Going Around

Rumor has it Facebook has four new viruses going around and spreading craziness to peoples’ computer and I just want to take a minute to let you all know about them. Why? Because I like all of you and I hate when a virus takes my computer out and all of these viruses can and will do that.

If you get a notice of a PHOTO TAG … Do not open it.
If you get a notification that a friend reported you for offensive behavior etc… Do not open it.
If you get a message from your friends via chat saying click this link … Do not open it.
If you see a status update from your friend about a video that no one can watch for more than 15 seconds…Do not click on it! And it’s up to you if you want to let your friend know.

If you have seen or done any of these four things, a good thing to do would be to change your passwords immediately and also run a virus program check to make sure you are okay.

Just thought I’d pass this information on.

I know it’s saying it’s a hoax all over the internet, all over google however I know people who have had to deal with viruses all day because of one or more things on this list. But I know what you are talking about, already googled it.
