How do you get facebook viruses? - Captain Clutch - 03-03-2013 09:08 AM
Hey there, I got my 2nd facebook virus yesterday. It just posts on random people's walls saying that they should look at webcams and open links. Is someone hacking in my account? How do you get these viruses? How can you prevent them?

Actually, it could be a virus on your computer, especially if you have ticked the "remember me" option.
Change your password immediately, preferably using a non-infected computer.
Then scan and clean your computer using http://housecall.trendmicro.com .
You probably got those viruses by visiting a bad website and/or downloading something bad. To prevent them make sure you have a good anti-malware software installed.

i think the answer above mine thell you eveything you need to know but make sure you tell people not to click on these links
the links are dangerous! i clicked on one by accident after my friend got hacked but luckily my anti-virus didn't let the page open
