How do I get rid of this Facebook Virus?!? - Sierra - 05-07-2013 07:01 PM

For the past week, randomly my facebook status will change to something I dont even post. It gets updated when im not even logged on and usually its something like "look at what I found" followed with a link. It is getting SO ANNOYING and all my friends complain to me about it to. I just want an end to it but Im not sure what to do! Please help!

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING:

Do a virus-scan. This could be what's known as the Koobface worm. I've explained this so many times, so just see my Best Answer here for an explanation on how to remove it and what it does: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjBlKpzdt3t7NdqPMDNrCfrty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20101001112244AAq8GEm&show=7#profile-info-OhtBTS9gaa

AFTER ANY VIRUSES HAVE BEEN REMOVED:

- Change your email password.
- Change your Facebook password.
- Clear your browser cache/cookies.

I feel so bad for you the same thing happened to me last week you make it go away by changing your password

Try changing your password, or simply deleting your facebook account and make a new one.

If that doesn't work, try virus scanning your computer and see if it picks up any malware/spyware.
