The Facebook Virus takes a 180

The Real Post about the Face Book Spider Bite scam video

From what I see, everyone is calling this one the “Facebook who blocked you virus”.
Pretty simple I guess, explains it very well. Another method of getting a virus on Facebook
The facebook virus we all saw last month that said ” Wow I can’t believe I can really see who looked at my profile”, has now taken a complete turn around and now says
“Just saw who deleted and blocked me on facebook”
and then shows three faces with pad locks on them says 3 mutual friends, 1 mutual friend 6 mutual friends
and then below it says
“Check who has deleted or blocked you
See who your friends really are !
Check it at link in description”
Below the link is another image of the facebook logo with a circle with a hatch mark through it showing that it is anti facebook.
Then there is a bit.ly link. When you click that link. It’s over. Faster than you can hit the back button, your account is stolen and spamming the link out.
You will see this image on a person’s facebook page, and the virus of course tags the image with the name of every user who is a friend of the owner of the page, into this image, so you click it to see why your name is in that image, plus all of your friends see that you are tagged in an image so they look to see what the heck it’s all about, down below the image is a link to a virus that takes your account.

NEW FACEBOOK VIRUS

That, I would have to say is pretty spiffy of the hackers. Very creative. To bad they didn’t think of it before everyone predicted this would happen.

and another version where it tags your friends is like this

Try and not be so vain next time.. will ya

How to fix the Facebook virus issue.

Please start with running a virus scan. Any of a good selection of virus scanners will do. If one virus scanner does not find the Facebook virus, try another. There are many listed on that page.
If you can access another computer, please change your Facebook password from another computer while the scanning goes on.
and delete any posts that link to the virus. GO TO YOUR PROFILE TO SEE ALL THE POSTS YOU MADE. You have to delete them to do your part in containing the issue.

****Update****
This one has grown and morphed and changed to a photo tagging with a linked below it. making friends of everyone who is tagged, susceptible to getting the virus. They call it the facebook photo tagging virus.
Technically it’s not a virus until you click the link below the image. but really, a lot of people trust what’s going on in facebook.
And the team at facebook have started disabling the images and the links. but it kind of crashes a bit. It will still show the image for a while. click the ex to hide the image, but instead select “report spam”
Newer than the photo tagging is messaging someone’s page and saying they can get free stuff while it lasts. i think it’s apple or mac stuff. you know…. useless junk.
