A new Facebook virus has infected more than 50K users.....are you one of them ??
Facebook viruses have been around for a while, but lately I’ve seen them cropping up even more frequently. You get a Facebook virus when you click on a link that installs malicious code or if you allow an untrusted application access to your account.
What to do if you too are infected from this virus ?
The first thing you have to do when you discover you have a Facebook virus is change your Facebook password.
Finally, check to be sure the application isn’t lurking on your account. It’s probably not, but it’s good to be sure and now is a good time to clean out the apps you’re not using any more anyway. To check the apps connected to your account, follow these instructions:
1) Go to Account > Privacy Settings.
2) Click the Edit your Settings link under Apps and Websites.
3)Click the top Edit Settings button (by Apps You Use).
The Apps You Use page comes up listing all the apps you’ve allowed to have access to your account.(Mostly the app is named Xperia or HTC)
Go through the list and be sure you know each and every one of the apps.
If you’re unsure if the app is trusted or if you want to remove an app.
4) Click the Edit Settings button next to the app.
5) Click the Remove the app.
6) Thats it and you are safe now. :)
