In recent days, it has been known to spread lightning fast on Facebook a virus that installs when the user clicks on a link, an address that purports to point to a "friend" video with reference to the recipient of the notification or message. Here's how to recognize if it's business infecting your system with a virus.
Think about whether the referral was made in a post associated with one of the great events of the days -the local or international level.

If you can not distinguish it with certainty then ahit the mouse cursor over the unsightly link (the blue reference to the text) and look in the lower left corner of the browser. There, you'll see the URL you refer to before clicking. If you do not see a trusted destination in the URL, do not click.
