While is PC (personal computer) a Facebook's user have most Koobface's infection, therefore Koobface reads to register that user friend. Koobface then doubling self by sends copy meaty email her goes to user friend already most infections. Process that duplication indeed user unknown because happens automatically and hush hush.

Even chain reaction happening. Duplication and infection continually happens while Facebook's user that moo opens attachmentyang meaty that virus. Nontechnical user handicap detects that virus threat is viral that impersonates as file named flash_player.exe.

"That virus persuade user for mengklik attachment it by saying that Flash Player user was outmodel. While is pseudo update that claims to come from that Systems Inc's Adobe at click, therefore even user PC most infection.

For example is Facebook. Social network sites that necessitate order consigner earlier becomes member one can't yet send order and person that doesn't become member Facebook can not open Facebook's member data. That sekuriti's system makes users Facebook is certain that virus won't get to scatter through Facebook.
