Title: URGENT!! - facebook virus
Post by: Geo on March 23, 2010, 23:20:11 PM
Guys,

a few fake youtube links are being posted on walls as if they have came from me, they haven"t. If you are on FB and get a link posted from me please don"t click it.

I got home from Swansea last night and whilst browsing my messages, clicked on a link sent to me by a trusted member of blonde and APAT and my lappy went doowally. Have asked him to confirm whether he had indeed sent the original message

yep I got the message from someone yesterday and clicked the link.... then FB went mad and sent to my entire list.

It"s a virus call koobface - all major virus protection cleans it up easily enough.

Geo - in your FB profile page, you can see where you have posted it on other walls, and can remove those posts. Took me a few minutes to delete loads last night.
