How do I get rid of the Facebook virus from my computer?
I recently got a new laptop, and I received an e-mail from Facebook and I clicked on it by accident and it keeps coming up with a different Facebook page saying that I have to pay to use it. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?

Use ALL of these programs, as it sounds like you have a malware/adware/spyware issue:
Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.h… CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ Spyware Terminator http://www.spywareterminator.com/ Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Unlike anti-virus software, it usually takes multiple anti-malware/spyware/adware to resolve some issues. If you do not already have an anti-virus installed, I would suggest AVG http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free Ads |

Hi,
please do this :- you have a really bad virus and the only thing to kill it is "Malwarebytes", some times this virus blocks anti-virus sites so download it using another system on to a Flash drive then use the flash drive to install it onto the infected system, then reboot and then run a FULL scan of your system, if this fails try this, reboot and press F8 as it boots up, this will take you into safe mode, then run a Full scan again. If it is still blocked & won’t install try this:- When it asks you where you would like to save it, change the "mbam_setup.exe" file to xxxxx.exe. Then install it, update it, and run a full scan in Safe mode. This will clear your system of this virus. http://malwarebytes.org/ This is also one of the best free anti-spyware programs; again always run your anti-virus software in “Safe Mode†on full scan. http://www.superantispyware.com/ This will all help you and are completely FREE downloads. Trust me this does work. Simple version of what to do:- Download “Malwarebytes†onto a UBS Memory stick using a friends system Reboot your system As it boots up press (tap) F8 When in SAFE MODE install “Malwarebytes†using your USB Stick copy When installed, run a full scan of your HDD Reboot back into main windows again Update “Malwarebytes†Run another full scan of your HDD Go buy a “doughnut†to reward yourself for having a clean system again. |

Download Malwarebytes Antimalware remover. Install it, make sure to click on the update box during installation process. Then run a full system scan and let it fix the problem. Good luck.

You can try all of those and also clamav or avast. Unfortunately though, you can spend hours trying to remove everything when a simple reload ends up being quicker.
