The message warns that clicking to read the story can infect your computer with a virus. It asks you to send the information to all of your contacts.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, no, Donald Trump has not been arrested. I have not yet seen any definitive reports about a virus threat like the one described in the circulating message.  \u00a0The wording of the message is reminiscent of several <a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/dance-of-the-hillary-phone-virus-hoax\/\">virus hoax messages<\/a> that have circulated in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>However,  \u00a0criminals are \u00a0indeed using fake posts about Trump to trick people into visiting scam sites and downloading malware.
