Beware of Facebook crushes

If someone you don’t know from Facebook sends you a “crush” don’t download anything.
Tel Aviv-based software producer, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. says “secret crush” software lurking within the social networking site has been sending adware to members without their knowing about it.
Facebook allows members to contact one another by sending out messages, called crushes. But some users have been asked to download an application after opening the message and that’s where the problem lies. Users have been fooled into opening the adware and installing it on their computers because Facebook allows plugins on the site. If this happens to you, just say no.
