Have you been on Facebook lately? One of the worse sites to go on is face book for obtaining viruses and especially Trojans.

What happens when you get a Trojan is it will attempt to take control of your PC. It actually can grab all your contact email addresses in Facebook and then send an email out to all the people in your contacts. The emails appears to be received by one of your friends and you assume that they sent you the email so you open it up. Unfortunately your friend might not even know that they sent you an email.

The next step is it now obtains the email contacts in the next persons email contacts and it continues to multiply and before you know it hundred  of thousands of people have all obtained Trojans.

I am not knocking Facebook I am only saying just be really careful not to fall for any scams and be really careful what you download. 

There are other ways of obtaining the Trojans as well from Facebook.
