Facebook Password Stealer
Here is the Facebook email stealing password virus. If you get this email, my suggestions is to delete it immediately.
Subject: Facebook Password Reset Confirmation! Customer Support
Dear user of Facebook,
Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed. You can find your new password in attached document.
Thanks,
Your Facebook.
Instead of having a fake Facebook page to collect the victims passwords (phishing), the email is sent with a malware attachment. The malware is known as “Bredolab” which is a Trojan downloader. In the two computers I repaired today, Bredolab downloaded some rogue antivirus products. However, some sites are saying that it also downloads a password stealing trojan.
If you see it onsite, Malware Bytes seems to deal with the Trojan once you kill the main executable (at least the rogue antivirus variants). Be sure to tell your clients to change their passwords after the infection has been removed as well.

Have a SSD Drive and want to know why you need TRIM support on that drive?
It's because with TRIM support, it helps to scrub blocks of deleted data back into that current drive. Without it, your computer will think that the hard drive is full and that there is no more space to write on that drive.
If your buying an SSD Drive, make sure it's TRIM supported or that it contains wiper.exe to restore deleted data from your hard drive. If you don't buy an SSD Drive with these options, your going to have drive slow downs.
