my facebook is hacked and is sending a dangerous link to all of my friends repeatedly!? - Luis - 12-10-2013 10:04 AM
a friend of mine sent my this : http://tuvaustriahellas.gr/?4lz7ogmevif3v=9e2e1d1b2b41c781cb67d ;
i opened the link , :"( , and this link started to send to all of my friends as a message, repeatedly , so same thing must have happened to him , i changed my password , checked the active sessions and everything and nothing happened. now im forced to get like 20 messages every second saying what is this link and that i should stop sending this ... , and i have to tell them to not click the link cause its a hack ... and some of them think it is me who is sending the message . so i made a post saying to not click the link and it was not me sending it , but the point is the message is still sending . and by the way i have like 700 friends , so i mean this. i don't know how to stop it.

Hey, It is a software called "Rootkit". Every time you click that link, It will automatically downloads secretly on your facebook and messes with your messages. You can not delete all that links that was given to your facebook friends, But you can prevent it. Here's how:
1. Every time you browse the internet, try opening your antivirus. I recommend Avast.

Even if you clicked the link, Antivirus will stop it before it even starts.
2. Before opening links, Ask first to your friends what's inside it.
3. Try opening your Firewall.
Hope that helps.

I'm not sure if it will work but have you tried restoring your computer to a date before this issue started?
