Virus on FaceBook.com! I was infected :(



Few days ago, I’ve got some strange replies in facebook.com about some links, which i had sent out to others. Only today I find out, that it was some virus.

Facebook.com VIRUS – tinyurl[dot]com/pofb3m/, 583006

And today my e-mail was full with mails from FB too:

Security Warning From Facebook
We have detected suspicious activity on your Facebook account and have reset your password as a security precaution. It is possible that malicious software was downloaded to your computer or that your password was stolen by a phishing website designed to look like Facebook.
(…)
Never Click Suspicious Links: It is possible that your friends could unwillingly send spam, viruses, or malware through Facebook if their accounts are infected. Do not click this material and do not run any .exe files on your computer without knowing what they are. Also, be sure to use the most current version of your browser as they contain important security warnings and protection features.

It only mean, that it’s enough with one day without anti-virus software, and I’m infected :( Be careful with short-links.

PS. Few days I was without my AVG.

UPDATE (6:11 PM): mashable.com: Facebook Scammers Turn to TinyURLs
