Yesterday, when i went on my FaceBook, i clicked on what i thought was a friends video and all of a sudden the Koobface Worm started off and running. I thought that it was going to crash my computer. Fortunately, it was considered a vary low-risk virus, but it sure didnt feel like it, especially since i dont know a whole lot about computers. Finally with much coaching i was able to get out from under that bug but i sure dont want it to ever happen again to me or anyone else. Please forgive me if you were affected by my doing that. A friend thought i had purposely sent an offending video to her and it was by her name that i had clicked on the video in the first place. That evil thing would have had us blaming each other if we didnt know that neither one of us would ever have sent something like that. One great lesson out of all this is that we need to trust and know each other so in times of trouble we can trust each other and help each other. In fact, i have always found FaceBook to be a blessing in that it let me feel like i was able to be in my friends living room with them enjoying a cup of coffee and visiting without having to leave my alternate schedule. Another thing that was a blessing was that it made me have to get my anti-virus updated. There might be a worse virus out there that now i wont have to deal with since i dealt with this lesser virus. I hope and trust all my friends are fine and out of the woods.
