Can you get viruses from any app or anything else on Facebook?

Can I get viruses from flairs, the coaster game, and the aqaurium game?

[Dillon Horinek]

No. Facebook wouldn't allow the app to be processed if it was malicious.

It sure is possible. There are all kinds of dangerous files and apps on all Social Networking sites. And just because you get a link from a friend's account doesn't mean it's safe. if your friend's account got a virus/trojan it will send you a link because you are in the friends list'
Before you open any downloaded file you should scan it with your antivirus software.

yeah i think so. a bunch of people told me that the app fan check is a virus

It depends on the app. If it is an online app there is a VERY small chance that it will be malicious( about .0002%). but other than that your fine. There have been reports of people getting viruses from facebook, like my sister made one and she got one,too. so just be careful what you put on your page or what you do...

Any legitimate facebook app shouldn't have a virus, usually what happens is there are advertisements that look like apps and people accidently click on them. Those have viruses in them nearly 100% of the time.
