Is anyone else receiving random misspelled emails saying there is a sexy video of them?
I received 3 today from some of my true facebook friends. I know this is a virus but was wondering if it is just within my group of friends or if other people are getting them as well.

Definitely a virus or spyware. Don't open them and never click on the attachments/links!

If you don't have anti-virus and anti-spyware download, install and update and scan with the following free:

Ad-Aware 2008 from lavasoft.com
SUPERAntiSpyware from download.com
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from download.com

I also suggest once everything is installed and updated that you also run all the scans in safe mode.

If you don't have the latest version (8.0175) of AVG go to free.avg.com and download AVG Free ... uninstall your corrupt version before installing the new one.

You can also go to housecall.trendmicro.com for a free online virus and spyware scan, which also cleans, but this takes a very long time.

I would get off Facebook first of all. Also be sure your PC has virus protection. I'm on Myspace & I hope that crap doesn't happen there. DEATH to HACKERS! lol.

Edit: Trendmicro is excellent and also Windows One Care!

Sorry that happened to you Sad
