Computer Worms

Had our system infiltrated. My husband is now cleaning up the mess. Most likely came through a back door via a social network or flash drive.

Scan your system. Make sure you do not download programs from links in social networks (I suppose like this one) if they ask you to download something else in order to view your selection.

Ugh. What a mess. Also, you can google "social networks, worms" to get more info. Koobface is the best known worm.

My dad suggests Spybot as a solid system for detecting and deleting such worms.

Well, I personally loathe people who create these malwares. Karma will get them.
