@Omega40

This may help.

"Antichrist" was a computer virus hoax distributed to Spanish computer users via email.

"The following is a translation of the text in the email:

    ALERT: THE WORST VIRUS IN HISTORY. A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft and Mcafee as the most destructive of all time. This virus was discovered yesterday and is known by the name of ANTICHRIST; no antivirus has been discovered; it simply destroys the zeroth sector of the hard disk, where vital information for its operation is kept.
    It works in the following way:
    1. -) It sends itself to all the names in your address book with the title:
    "SURPRISE?!!!!!!!!!!"
    2. -) As soon as it is installed, it destroys the zeroth sector and in this way it permanently destroys the hard disk. Please send this E-mail to as many people as you can; in case you receive an e-mail with subject "SURPRISE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"!, get advice from an expert because it can install itself automatically."

Strictly speaking the virus is not in Facebook itself but , as the social site is open to all and sundry to register , anyone can create a profile and put 'undesirerable' links etc on it ..

You do need to use your common-sense when on the site >>exactly as you should do when surfing or opening any emails or thinking it is safe to click on ads .......

and ps; your Antivirus program is A defence but you are the computer user and you need to be a line of defense too
