Thread: Facebook Virus doing the rounds!!

If you get a message in your facebook inbox claiming to be from someone on your friend list and containing a pic/video of you don't open it. Delete it, Its a virus.
I have had 2 of these messages already and many of my FB friends have been infected with a virus after opening the link in the message.

Thanks for the heads up

Oooh thanks for that

Thanks for the warning x

Mike

Im a mob wars fan your already in my mob Mike but if anyone else want to be in my mob feel free to join

I'm so glad you started this thread. I have had this sent to me twice in the last 2 days and just deleted it both times

Thanks for the warning

If I get one how can I delete it from my inbox without opening it first?

There should be an option to tick the box at the side of the email Carol and then choose "Delete".

Thanks Lacey!

can you get it even if you have anti virus on ya pc??

Yes because its in the form of a link. It will infect your PC if you click on the link. Your antivirus should tell you if there's a threat.
Hubby was looking on a car sales website and managed to infect my laptop with 11 different viruses and that was a commercial site!!! Luckily my antivirus picked up the threat straight away and cleared them.

ive had them too but it takes me straight to the utube home page
ive got norton antivirus so i hope thats blocking them !

Elaborate Facebook Worm Virus Spreading I thought some of you might be interested in this... it gives more info on the virus, how it infects your computer and what it does.
