We have recommended that customers do not use applications that they have received invitations to use even if it is from friends. Apps can be very dangerous even in the social media world.

Facebook continues to tiptoe on that think line. They didn’t really deal with the SocialMe thing very effectively, and their own actions are less than ethical – most recently the facial tag recognition stuff which everyone gets opted into as default.

Author you said:
“STOP using SocailMe. Since Facebook is going to leave you in the wet and not take any action against SocailMe, you got to take your own cover.”

Even though this is an older post, the problem with harmful apps still exists. I don’t know if Facebook will ever be able to completely get rid of them, since spammers and other people wanting to do harm, will always be one step ahead of the game and find new ways to exploit holes in the systems.

My best suggesting is to never install or add anything that you don’t already trust. I know that sounds a bit vague but it can help you avoid most of the harmful code.

Thanks

I had a friend receive this a few weeks back. It is a nasty lil’ bugger! I had a heck of a time removing this & retaining all of his data. After getting control of this strain, I was able to complete the process of his computer repair & advised him to steer clear of it again.

My suggestion was to get a computer that may be a little older to just surf the net with. So when this happens, you just don’t care & have really nothing to lose. Reload windows if you have too. Easy Pisa! Time is all that is lost!
