It's happened to most of us more than once. People who do this sort of thing have no social conscience and should be shut away without access to a computer.   |

Gosh Fred, I was just loading up to go to Peru to get you out of jail. 
Happens to the best of us, don't know of a way to prevent it, specially if you get on Facebook.

The days of having simple passwords are long over folks. Computers hack computers these days, and you have to make sure passwords fill up with capitals and numbers etc.
Here's an example that won't last: Dave12
Here's one that will: hOtsPoilt$:123
Also want Mickey said.
By the way Mick how you doing Old boy, good to see you old mate!

You probably clicked on a link with a worm. This is what a worm looks like
If you get something that looks like this, don't open the link. Instead, ask the person who allegedly sent it to you whether or not he or she actually did. If the answer is no, then his or her computer was hacked.
If the answer is no, move the e-mail to the spam folder and empty it immediatly.

 Just like to add ,keep your virus/malware apps updated, preferably every time you boot.Run a complete scan at least once a week. IMO ,Trendmicro (cost $) is one of the best AV (get it here from Wiz), Malware Bytes is a must, and my fave AV is free from Microsoft aka: Microsoft Security Essentials(go to MS website using Internet Explorer and D/L it).Did I mention it works great and it's FREE.
