While most of you are smart enough to avoid clicking on questionable Facebook links, something like this is a good idea for the average user that clicks on everything.

If the system does not detect a problem with a link, the user will be allowed to visit the page as normal, without any sign that it has been checked. When a threat is detected, however, Facebook will present a warning with links to more information. If the user wants to proceed anyway, they will be allowed.

Post link to site that hasn't been created yet. Create site after link posted with virus. Profit.
 
the only problem with this: then when users get conflicker virus spoof emails again, they think they are all legit and safe, not realizing they are fake links from fake emails etc and get infected.

most infections last year i removed for people were from fake facebook/youtube emails
 
I predict an increase in the number of cases that I am fixing viruses caught from facebook.

Which is great by me..Virus removal is easy money.
