Step 1: Don’t click on links until you know what they are to.  Basically if it has a link, especially in the subject line, be wary.

Step 2: Search out the subject line text and/or link.  Simply put the subject line of the text into google (highlight it, cut and paste) and you will see a list of sites that are shouting for you to not click your virus infected Facebook link.

Step 3: Delete any messages that are in your inbox that you know are infected.

That’s it.  Short and sweet.  Have a nice day and be cautious!
