This was Emailed to me from my IT guy from my company. I did copy and paste from my Email so the last part is just talking about if we downloaded it to let him know.

It will say....

"Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.

You can find your new password in attached document.

Thanks,

The Facebook Team"

The attached document they want you to open contains a virus. If you receive it, don’t open it, please delete it and then delete it from your deleted items folder.

Thanks man good to know. I really can't understand why people create viruses just to fuck with people and their stuff. Even if people are not getting their info stolen, but just to crash their computer, i don't understand why people would want to do that.

he said a FACEBOOK virus, as in a virus that would fuck up your facebook account. Yeah, this is a virus, but it just uses the word facebook in the email to get people to click on it to fuck your computer over.

OK OK, it has come to my attention that the thread title is a bit misleading.  My bad.  Maybe I should have worded this different.  But come on, we are not all computer IT people that know all of this.

Ahh, well your response made me re-read the OP. And the OP does not, in fact, answer my question as to whether the document comes in an e-mail to us or via a Facebook message.

Ergo, I was not in the wrong, and you were being sassy for no reason. And yes, I just said ergo.

How am I supposed to know, I've never tried?

BCL - huh? I wanted to know if I should keep an eye out in my e-mail so that I can report it.
