Facebook spam updates?? 10 Pts?
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. Ads |

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 Jonathan Ads |

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 Information about Koob: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koobface http://www.symantec.com/security_respons...15-0217-99 |
