Facebook virus

Yesterday I received a message from a friend on FB. In this message this is a video named " you are the funny gal in the world". It is a video link. After clicking this video, an unknown software was installed on my PC. I realized that I got a virus. My brother downloaded Anvi Smart Defender to get rid of this virus. And he told me to not go to facebook again because it is facebook that got me this virus. But I really wanna stay with friends on facebook. Will I get virus if I don't click any video on facebook? Is it facebook virus?

 

yeah plugin will get installed, & itz nothing but keylogger , so carefull with those

 

it is so dangerous virus it can harm your computer badly.we all b care full about these viruses

 

Be wary of the messages you receive on facebook. Facebook itself is not the problem, it's the loopholes in the way it operates that the people manipulate for personal gain. If it's something fishy like that, it's best to avoid it. Though it's hard to distinguish the way these messages are being sent these days. If you don't remember being in a video that would somehow be funny, then.. Confirm it with the person who messaged it to you. When they see the message in the inbox and realize they didn't send the message that it shows they sent to you, problem will dissolve

 

Thanx for informative informations.

 

You don't have to boycott facebook if you don't want to. You just have to be extra careful because after all it's a public site. Don't open spammy looking mails, click on suspicious looking links and videos. And also, you have to be careful with the information you put out there because it's a public site. Facebook has lots of benefits, use it with caution and responsibility.

 

I second that, as I know a group of people that got arrested and convicted of a felony because of their affiliation on Facebook.

 

On a side note, I find this virus pretty funny. If I remember right, it's been going around since.. 2006? 2007? There's been minor variations, but it's primarily still the same thing that people still click on.

 

be carefull and use anti virus software for prevention

 

It might be a virus attached with that video but do not be scared use facebook virus will not come again if do not click on suspicious links.

 

yes yes yes... you are absolutely right!! i also see this kind of links in my FB account but i never click on them because one of my friend already told me about it

 

Must becare ful from this type of visru.

 

FACEBOOK has lots of benefits, use it with caution and responsibility. .......?????

 

Report this to facebook and be careful when you clicking links in facebook as it will devastate the your privacy.
