I just found out that my computer had a bunch of spyware in it and it got into my facebook and was sending out messages to all my friends. I think I got my computer good to go now but if anyone received any messages from me through facebook they are not from me, especailly the ones about a video DONT open them. If by chance you already did, run a spy ware removal tool to catch the trojan. I run mcafee but it did not catch this bug :banghead:
Hackers and spyware makers should be hung up by there you know what's :angry: :angry:

Hi Gerda

Linda said to me that you should also uninstall any recently installed apps on Facebook but I said that you hadn't been on there for a while and so I thought maybe just your password was hacked and it didn't come in through an app.

Glad you got it sorted. :D

Thanks for the heads up Gerda. I was wondering why you commented on my butt! :) :)

Hilary,

:)

Glad you found the spyware and got rid of it, Gerda.

You couldn't pay me to use Mcafee, one of my neighbors works for thier corporate offices here in Dallas, and says DON"T use it! It is made for businesses and is not person friendly and the interface is hard to use, :banghead:

I read your warning little too late. My Norton antivirus blocked trojan horse, or at least it claimed that. No harm was done I think.
If anyone gets message from me on Facebook, don´t read it as I only reply :)

Hi, Gerda,

Sorry that this happened to you. I had this happen to me last month and while mine was not as severe as yours, it did take me a while to fix. I went and got something called spyzooka, ran it and WOW. Anyways I was so impressed I wrote this about them,

YES if you click the links and buy I will get a commission but that is not why I post this.
And yes I agree, the people that write this spyware/ adware crap should be shot, stabbed and p***ed on.
