Facebook spam updates?? 10 Pts?

[Rayna Mustang]

I am getting SO irritated now I have changed my password SO many times and I have even made a new email, my facebook account keeps updating by itself "via email" and I don't know how to stop it, it posts things like "I can't believe I just won an iphone on the app" or something like that and it's annoying my friends and family, please tell me what to do to make them stop??

I don't have any spyware crap either, this is the only site it's doing it on and I really don't want to have to delete it.

Go to your settings and make sure none of the apps that you've used are allowed to post things on their own.

Hope this helped

Yes, you DO have "spyware crap." This is most commonly known as the Koobface worm, and has nothing to do with your Facebook account. It's a virus on your computer and spreads itself by sending those spammy advertisement scams. While doing that, it searches for bank and personal information.

You need to do a malware scan IMMEDIATELY, with Malwarebytes. Reboot your computer in Safe Mode with Networking, and download that software for free here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Do a "Full Scan" with it, and delete any and all infections found at once. If the problem persists, you may also need to do a scan with SuperAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

It's a simple worm to remove, but terribly irritating. Inform your friends NOT TO CLICK ON THOSE LINKS! Keep them from getting this worm as well
