It is a Christmas, and the computer viruses multiply, being Facebook one of the affected means.
The Bulging company of antivirus warned today about the appearance of a new virus worm that propagates through the network socially and that uses a video to congratulate the Christmas as hook to cheat the victims.
Once the Net users puncture in the linkage of the congratulation, they will enter on a page that simulates to be Youtube in that they will be able to see the video. In this false "web", the user will unload the virus if it punctures in any linkage or on having reproduced the video.
As soon as the virus was installed, this one will block the computer of the victim and will urge him to introduce a series of letters to prevent from being begun again. When the user messes about this code it will provoke that the "worm" registers a new domain where it will lodge the video.
To avoid this type of contagions, Panda recommends to the Net users not to puncture in suspicious linkage originated from not sure sources, so much in case of the received ones by means of e-mail as across Facebook.
