Dude that is how koobface attacks!!! Beware!!

It says you need a flash update and then appears to give you one but what it really does is infect you with XP antivirus 09....which is one of the worst viruses I have ever seen.

I just watched it attempt to leap across hard drives on my network as I attempted to remove it from a friends machine!!!

It attacks facebook now (myspace previously) and it is NASTY!!

You may not have gotten it but if you did you will know very very soon. LOL.

The best way to prevent a virus is to be secure behind a router and once you set up your system the way you like it....never ever update anything until you are positive its legit.

So say you see some crap about a flash update.......just get out of that site...open a new browser and go directly to the site and check it out.

I had a system run for like 4 years once with ZERO updates of any kind. And then service pack 2 came out I think and I said what the heck but for the most part if you have a good running system and you are behind a hardware firewall you can skip them ALL!

And of course no limewire, porn, blah blah blah....
