Alert reader Wendy received a link to a dangerous-looking video link through her Facebook private messages that turned out to be malicious. Her Facebook friend, however, hadn�t been suspicious enough.

Clicking on the icon to run the video presented a download � an executable file. It just doesn�t get any more suspicious than that.



It was one of the rogues from the FakeVimes family. To see descriptions of the latest in that family, check out the GFI Rogue Blog here.

Thanks Wendy. Thanks Matthew.
