    If you receive anything on your homepage which says 'such and such' a person likes this and a video is attached, don't open it as there is a virus attached, or may well be. These videos are normally of an 'X' rated nature.

    My husband is presently trying to deal with this. I will update with any further information.

    His virus scan has just proved clear. Be careful out there!

      I once received a friend request from, erm, a very well endowed lady who must have had the picture taken on a very warm day judging by her attire (or lack of).

      I showed the wife, we had a bit of a chuckle about it then I promptly clicked the 'I don't know this person' option.

      At the moment it would seem that the person who opens this within your friends list gets the 'comeback'. Every time somebody else opens it-it backtracks to the first person.

      Ha! Last time I did this, I never heard the end of it for some time... :heehee:
      Easy option if you can't delete the post.. "Mark as Spam" and make it disappear.
      I don't think it'll harm your PC, as usually all these want to to is spam as many
      facebook users pages as possible...

        Hey SF, sorry to go off topic, but I've just noticed you've used my all time favourite hero for your avatar.
