You could be booted off the internet Monday.
Facebook is notifying users who have a certain type of malware on their computers. If they don't remove it, they will lose internet access on July 9. That's when the FBI shuts down the malware.
If a user accesses Facebook from a computer infected, the site will show an alert with a link. The website will instruct users on how to remove the malware.
The FBI’s website also has a link that allows people to check their computers.
