    Is FB safe?
    HI, Currently I read that Twitter was hit by Virus! So did FB but not as bad. I want to know is it safe to go on FB when I have Norton internet security? Thnks

    Do you mean Facebook? There has been reports of malware being spread on Facebook.

    Surge in Facebook Malware - F-Secure Weblog : News from the Lab

    In the end, up to user whether to visit types of sites or not
