How do i get rid of the facebook virus?
Well you all know the virus going around facebook right? Well i keep changing my password (like everyday) and i change my name alot but the virus keeps coming back. I always scan my computer but i never have a virus. It just sends under my account and everyone keeps getting mad at me. It seems like the best thing to do is delete my account but i really dont want to do that. Is there any other way to make sure i dont get the virus?

stop giving your password out to every random site that asks for it

Change your password and facebook email address, that might help.
There's no point scanning for viruses in this case,
because it isn't actually a virus, whats happening is an automated computer somewhere is accessing your account, and using it to spam bad things around,
this does actually mean that other people can very well be accessing your personal information.

Also, to avoid getting it again when you get a message over Facebook
(or any social networking site,) That goes along the lines of,

OMG, I can't believe thats you in this pic!

thats bad news.
there are many different variations of course, you just have to be wary about links in mail, things like http://www.youtube.com/video123143 are perfectly fine
the best advice here is to look at whats in the middle of www. (myspace) .com
and if you don't know the site, i wouldn't click it, unless your 100% sure its your friend actually wanting so share something with you.

Hope this helps, (:
