iskout Posted May 4, 2011 Anyone else notice all of the people infected by a virus that spams the walls of their friends on Facebook wtih a link to the virus, disguised as something else? I know stuff like this has been around for a long time, but it's getting really bad now. I've deleted 4 posts on my wall today alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway Posted May 4, 2011 Not sure, I delete every post that is one of those...."some1 answered a question about your, or all the other crap you see like that! When my gf and I 1st started dating I would not even allow her to get on FB from my computers, but over the years, I have just taught her to not click any of those spam links or posts!

rocketeer55 Posted May 4, 2011 My friends are so dumb sometimes...... I get more chat spam viruses than wall post viruses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iskout Posted May 4, 2011 My friends are so dumb sometimes...... I get more chat spam viruses than wall post viruses. I get them both, but there's been a surge of the wall posts since Bin Laden died. People clicking on links of the video, boom, Infected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathmineral Posted May 5, 2011 I hopped on facebook earlier to see what you're all talking about, haven't seen many of these virus posts but I saw one of my friends make a post about how he thinks the PSN hack is linked to all of these showing up so suddenly. Any thoughts on that? Personally I don't have much to think about it, I hardly ever give facebook the time of day so I'm unaffected by all of this really.

Not sure about viruses - but I've been getting quite a few of these hidden links that require you to like a page in order to gain access to them. I generally just delete them. In any case, you'd have to be pretty dull to click on random links posted to your wall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
