I heard of it last year. one of my friend had his facebook profile infected. He’s profile really loads very slow. While other windows are not. I don’t know how he’d fixed it. I also received chained message from my friends and I’m very to much aware if it contain virus..I agree with what would be the first thing to do with it.

Donna, Mandy, I have the SAME problem. I think I got the ‘trojan’ that everyones talking about. Cheap Web Hosting I get tons of pop ups. My facebook has been saying “facebook.com/common/error.” for about 3 days now. My blackberry works fine with facebook. I’ve used different computers to log into my facebook, but for some reason just MY personal computer won’t let me log in..
Anyone have any idea how to help me out??? I’ve been very frustrated the last couple days.

Thank you so much about the information of the virus! But my computer has just been infected with a horrible virus and basically destroyed it. Even if I had not clicked on any links could it still have come from facebook?

Thanks for the warning about the virus. I stayed away from facebook for a long time because of the rumors about viruses, but I have recently signed on.

I am cautious or rather try to be cautious of what I click on and only from people that I know, but you still can’t be too careful. Luckily, my husband is an IT pro, so we always keep our virus protection up to date. But it only takes one little opps! or clicking on something you don’t think is harmful and then you are infected.

Thanks again for the warning!

Hi Kelly, if you hold your mouse on the right-hand side of the wall you’ll get an edit link come up and then you can click on delete.

Kathie,

Thanks again for the reminder about this as it’s important to keep it present in my mind. It is easy to forget and click without thinking using my fast fingers.

On a sidenote, this may seem silly, but how do you remove anything from your wall? I can’t seem to do it.

Thanks!
Kelly

I still think that there could be security problems which I have voiced elsewhere.

Kathie,

Thank you for reminding us about this virus. I’ll be extra vigilant when reading my FB wall. I always keep my virus protection up to date, too! Thank goodness there is some good to fight the bad!
