Koobface virus attack on face book

The social site Facebook is facing problem from the thieves they find many ways to lift private information, the Phoenix Better Business Bureau warns. A huge numbers of the new users join Facebook every day -- Christina Higdon with the BBB said many scam artists are mounting ways to obtain a hold of personal information.

"You'll take delivery of a post on your Facebook page, fundamentally saying something to the effect, 'Oh, you look awesome in this video' or 'You look funny in this video.' It will have a link that will take you away from Facebook.

If you click on the link, you could download the Koobface virus.

"It's designed to monitor your internet activity and potentially steal some personal information," Higdon said, adding, "The virus is so difficult to remove that sometimes people have just completely stopped their computers."
