Facebook Message Virus

Facebook is a popular social networking website which is often targeted by threats like Facebook Message Virus. This clandestine threat requires a hijacked Facebook account through which various disturbing, potentially dangerous messages could be disseminated. It is believed that the malicious threat could already have affected over 800 million Facebook accounts. Needless to say, the more accounts are hijacked – the bigger and quicker the infection becomes. If you have not yet faced the malicious threat we recommend that you act with great precaution. Schemers have been noticed to work using Instant Messaging and Wall posts – Facebook Automatic Wall Post Virus. They attach alluring links which are used to redirect the targeted user to a potentially corrupted or unreliable website. Precaution is the best way to keep yourself guarded against Facebook Message Virus removal; however, we also recommend installing authentic Windows security software to delete malware.

Cyber criminals are usually quite innovative with their malware distribution channels. Without a doubt, cyber crooks have stepped into the next level with this particular infection because they have created a technology that allows them to spread automatic friend requests across the web. Have you recently been asked to befriend a stranger? Whatever you do – do not accept this friend request because this is how Facebook Friend Request Virus spreads and how schemers can initiate the attacks of the malicious Facebook Message Virus. If you fell for the scam and the infection has hijacked your account, schemers could send corrupted messages to people on your Friends list. In most cases these corrupted messages include a link with a short description intriguing you to open a picture or a video. Needless to say, one will not find what they are expecting after clicking on this link. It is more likely that one will be redirected to a fake online scanner or a fictional online banking login page. This is how schemers could infect your or your friends’ PCs with malware or initiate virtual scams.
