"if you see a status update containing the message "I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!" or "Get the official DISLIKE button now" followed by a link, you should know that it's another one of many scams that aim to extract your personal data.

If you click on the link, you'll land on an elaborate Facebook dislike button "install" page (note that if the dislike button were real, you wouldn't need to install it; Facebook would automatically add it to user profiles). If you follow the instructions, you'll be asked to give the app permission to run, after which you'll be asked to complete a survey,similar to the surveys found in many other scams we've seen recently."

So, please be extra careful whenever you are asked by FaceBook (or any other social networking site) to install additional software or follow a link they leads away from the main website.  That is exactly how these hackers and scammers try to lead you away from the relatively protected areas of the main site that you are visiting and then trick you into installing software that can steal your data and/or harm your computer.

Also, please remember to manually run a Windows Update on your computer from time to time in order to make sure that you have the most up-to-date versions of all of Microsoft's security updates and patches.

Let's be careful out there!
