As most Facebook users know, this online social network is a breeding ground for malware. This is because Facebook's ease of use and friendly interface has attracted millions of people that would never have used a computer before the advent of this popular website. ESG security researchers constantly identify online scams and malware that uses Facebook in order to reach its victims. This is because many of Facebook's users are relatively inexperienced when it comes to matters of proper online safety and computer security, making them prime targets for many dangerous online scams. Troj/Dloadr-DKK is a typical malware infection that is spread mostly through Facebook. Like most malware associated with Facebook, Troj/Dloadr-DKK uses an attractive, but dangerous link that quickly spreads from one user to the other on the popular website. One of the main dangers of Troj/Dloadr-DKK is the fact that, while you can control your own computer system's security, you have no control over your Facebook friends' security settings. All it takes is for one of your Facebook friends to become infected with a malware infection for that friend to post a link on your Facebook wall. Clicking on this link can then infect your computer system with a dangerous malware threat, such as Troj/Dloadr-DKK.

The links associated with Troj/Dloadr-DKK seemingly point to an image file. However, while the icon is designed to make the file appear to be a picture of two blonde women, it is really a malware infection. Once Troj/Dloadr-DKK is opened, this dangerous threat will attempt to make contact with a website that is hosted on a server located in Israel.
