Beware of the Facebook Error Check System- Don’t even search for it!

From the IT World

Yet another reason to be wary of information, notices, and applications you receive from social networking sites. A Facebook application is making its way through users by sending a bogus notification that says a friend cannot read your profile. Clicking on the recommended “Error Check System” application results in a trojan that will send the spam to everyone you know, and the same false notification error.

Further, Googling “Error Check System” results in a search page returned that produces a link that will initiate a fake virus scan to try to fool you into installing malware which is disguised as anti-virus software.Even searching for more information about this malware can result in more malware being added to your system.
