Why did my facebook account send a message to everybody on my list from me? Virus? - ................................ - 12-19-2012 04:13 PM
It sent the same message to my contacts saying to visit a website and find out who their crush is. I dont download anything on facebook and i have about 2 applications. I dont understand how I can have got a virus and other people didnt. Can somebody explain please.

I heard there was this virus one time I think it was called love bug now the basis of this if you open an e-mail with a attachment it could either be that virus now one of your Friends must have gotten that virus and now the effect everyone in the address book will also receive that virus
