image002 Beware of email delivery from the FacebookHave we ever accept foreign file the form. Zip, which on behalf of Facebook? If so be careful. Could be it is a new virus named Oficla.

Actually this is similar to the Bredolab Oficla or Pendex in the year 2009, for payload was indeed similar. Norman antivirus detect it as W32/Oficla.FA.

Although the initial variant was detected by antivirus programs at the end of 2009, this virus has the ability to update itself every time the detection by antivirus programs and infect each time it will download new virus to sites that have been prepared.


Based on information received Twitteling Vaksincom, Thursday (29/04/2010) if received this virus, not just a scam (email lie) is acceptable, but an email containing a virus that will install malicious programs with content that is engineered in such a way that is very convincing, so users Facebook layman would immediately run attachments without thinking twice.

This occurs because the development of malware authors now have no idle programmers who want to show their identity by making the virus, but has become organized crimes which make the virus and lead to the Rogue Antivirus / Fake Antivirus has become a livelihood for some circles.

What result?

The impact of this virus can be practically very inconvenient, not just your Facebook password that can be lost, but by running the virus you have to give access to all the credentials (username and password) on your computer, including credit card data and the other financial data ever, or will you use for online transactions.

Therefore, one of the best ways to avoid this virus is not easily believe what came in the mail because it can be falsified. Never mind the message, image or background that can be made as closely as possible with the Facebook site, the sender (from) can also be faked as if from Facebook administrators.
