Nancy,
Sarah and I both got the same post. Fortunately my antivir caught it and would
not let me open it. I called Shirley and asked about it also. She confirmed it
was not from her. I would suggest reporting the incident to FB and let them
deal with it. I have been getting warnings about someone named Christopher
Butterfield being a hacker, but I don't know that as a fact, just a rumor.

Does anyone know or can anyone explain how FB
viruses (virii?) work?
For example...
I have a few of you as FB friends. A couple
of weeks ago someone from a geocaching account started to chat with me. It
wasn't the person who owns that account. Now today, I had a message in
the FB inbox from CW/Shirley that also wasn't from her. (I confirmed this
with her). In the message was a link to something that I suspect was
rather "Adult" on nature.
Who has the problem? Me? Her? or FB? What are
the odds that one or both of us now have something ugly living in our
computers? My scans aren't picking anything up.
I've googled FAcebook Virus etc but not sure what
to trust.
Has anyone have experience with this that they
could just point us in the right direction.
This could be in everyone's best interest.
While I only have 5 cachers as friends, I can see that those 5 have a ton
more.
Nancy
