Hello members,


Present day did I received a mail from Zonealarm with the follow context:


Risk






Details








The rapidly-spreading Ramnit worm is stealing Facebook passwords and hijacking Facebook accounts. The worm launches threatening posts to your entire list of friends. These posts may look harmless, but they contain malicious links that spread the threat to your friends. You need extra protection!

I found this an important news article, so I thought: Know you what, I entering this on the forum, people do than know what they must to do.

If I said, got I this article and I found it important for entering this post.
I think that Zonealarm is very good busy with make a warning to the people.
Sometimes do I think when companies sent me those messages, it is a sales-stunt, but it is better that we believe them and safety measures.
