SCAM ALERT: Ice Bucket Challenge links could be viruses

If you get on Facebook or Twitter, it won’t take long for you to find another ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video.

But watch out, KRMG’s Clark Howard says some of the links you see could be scams. Some links, when clicked, will install malware or spyware onto your computer.

At that point, all of your personal information stored on your computer is at risk.

Clark says to watch out for links that have particularly enticing headlines.

The best way to avoid such a scam, Clark says, is to not click what you don’t know, even if it was shared by a friend.
