Beware of the "Koobface" Computer Virus: I have been attacked TWICE in the last 45 days and it comes from Facebook Applications

I wanted to let you know that their is a "malicious virus" that is being spread via Facebook and My Space.

I have been the victim of the new "KOOBFACE" Virus that is contracted through "Facebook" and "My Space" Applications like Farmville, What's my Chinese Name, Mafia Wars, Food Fights, Pillow Fights, etc.
The virus hits really hard and super fast and locks you out of your computer when a "countdown" clock pops up on your screen. It will ask you to enter two "verification words" to keep your computer from turning off in 3 minutes. When you type in the two "verification words" the worm hits your computer and you are locked out and shut down. It is also getting around your firewalls.

I want to thank the "Geek Squad" over at the Cerritos Best Buy for getting me back up, and on line. Gonzo, and Jim and Larry and all the GEEKS are amazing! But this crash cost me $219.00 to fix. A costly worm fer ser!

So....beware of what you’re signing up for on Facebook, it might cost you hundreds of dollars in computer repairs.

Tell me what you think??

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
