[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 963688, member: 24098"] There has only been one worm for Mac OS X and that effected iChat. There are no known worms, trojans or other assorted malware for OS X that directly relate to Facebook. With that said, I would recommend the following course of action: 1. Reset her Facebook password. This is crucial. I would also make sure that her email account password that she used to sign up for Facebook and her Facebook password are NOT the same. 2. If she's using Safari, go to the Safari menu and choose the "Reset Safari" option to get it back to defaults and purged caches/cookies. 3. Open Java Preferences in Applications => Utilities => Java Preferences. Click the Network tab. Click "Delete Files" to purge the Java cache. That should do the trick. [/QUOTE]
