I think my facebook is going to be hacked? - #1 - 02-28-2013 12:45 PM

I just put my email and password in a popup thing and realized after..#$@I that was a virus/hack. I immediately changed my password to both my email and facebook...Will I be alright or should I do anything more?

This was a so called "pishing-attack", which means someone tried to get the email and password of your facebook account. You behaved absolutely right by immediately changing your password! As long as you haven´t downloaded or installed some kind of program (.exe) you won´t have a virus. So you will be alright.

I would recommend you to scan your pc with antivirus software (for example Avira Antivir) and/or Malewarebytes or Hitman Pro (all these programms are free!).
