That is unfortunate that someone is targeting those sites with a damaging worm.? I use Facebook & LinkedIn every single day in my job.? If fact, I could not do my job as well as I do without those sites.? They provide valuable information and the opportunity to network and search for people, not only socially but professionally...which is what I do as someone in recruiting & sales.?? Hopefully the worm doesn't last long (I haven't seen or heard of it yet, thank goodness!) and hopefully people do not get scared to get on the sites as they are very useful for many reasons, not just for fun.?

There's a worm going around Facebook now--and MySpace and more as well. It travels with your emails and infects your friends.....it's called the Koobworm. It and others like it are targeting all the social networking sites... Koobworm follows your cookies and your emails......and has something to do with AOL videos, etc. Some people have nothing better to do that figure out a way to screw things up.......... and altho I've told Facebook at least a dozen times not to send me any more invitations to be a friend, I still get half a dozen or more a day.. there's another social networking site called Linkedin...............just as bad. If I sound grouchy, sorry...but I need the things on my computer and don't want them gone because someone else has a worm they've sent me just because they thought it would be fun to be on Facebook.
