Default Facebook virus alert
I just got back to back messages from friends on Facebook, telling me about a funny video.

Like an idiot, I clicked on it, and almost immediately an EXE file tried to launch itself on my computer. I'm pretty sure I stopped it in time.

One of the messages came from Adam's account, and the other one from Dos. So if you're Facebook friends with either of them, and you get a message about a funny video, you know what it is.

Not this "older" and "wiser" person. I never visit facebook or open even remotely suspicious mail. Besides, I'm too busy working out, unlike some of you "younger" and "foolish" people.

my left glute is suffering from severe adrenal fatigue, so I need something to occupy me when I am not in the gym

I got it too.... my computer gave me a warning when I stupidly clicked on it so it never downloaded or executed. Stupid... I definitely know better as well.

Thanks for the heads up. My wife is addicted to FB. I will make sure she knows about this.

I never opened it because I couldn't figure out why Dos would be sending me a video!!! Then when I saw that Adam sent the same video, I got suspicious.
Thanks for the warning though!!!
