The developers of Farmandia plaster Facebook with ads toughting a new 3d farming game enticing users to play.  Similiar to the hit Facebook game, Farmville, Farmandia claims to be a cool new 3D farming game and the ad images looked promising.

However, when we attempted to visit the game page for Farmandia on Facebook, we were greeted with a game logo for Fashion City and our security software shut down the web page after finding suspicious activity and after analyzing the activity further, our security software denied access to the page completely stating there is a trojan in it.

This is yet another reason why you should have a good internet security software package installed such as Kaspersky Internet Security 2011.  Hackers and virus programmers are becoming more and more sophisticated and even launching attacks through seemingly safe advertising banners where all you have to do is hover your mouse cursor over them.
