Facebook Virus doing the rounds!!

[spooky]

If you get a message in your facebook inbox claiming to be from someone on your friend list and containing a pic/video of you don't open it. Delete it, Its a virus.
I have had 2 of these messages already and many of my FB friends have been infected with a virus after opening the link in the message.

If I get one how can I delete it from my inbox without opening it first?

 

[Isis]

There should be an option to tick the box at the side of the email Carol and then choose "Delete".

 

[Mrs Depp]

Thanks Lacey!

can you get it even if you have anti virus on ya pc??

 

[spooky]

Yes because its in the form of a link. It will infect your PC if you click on the link. Your antivirus should tell you if there's a threat.
Hubby was looking on a car sales website and managed to infect my laptop with 11 different viruses and that was a commercial site!!! Luckily my antivirus picked up the threat straight away and cleared them.

Elaborate Facebook Worm Virus Spreading I thought some of you might be interested in this... it gives more info on the virus, how it infects your computer and what it does.
