| https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1202713941993&ref=nfFancheck itself isnt a virus. its a program that causes fb to play up, then people look online for a cure and will find "fixes" ready to download, which is the actual virus. Genius eh? I've used spybot and avast antivirus and only found a couple of bits of malware, which spybot got rid of and facebook is working fine again now. The link for spybot is http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.htmlI sent this in a message on fb, then realised people might think its a virus and not me so im putting it here too Dunno if this is all a coincidence but I did spybot, blocked the app and fb is fine now so I'm sharing!! | |

| Sooooooooooo, if I understand this right People are opening fancheck which then leads to people downloading a virus, If you havent touched fancheck, you will be OK even if you have been on FB? | |

| Fan check will tag you in a photo if one of your friends uses it Sandra, then it will scramble your facebook. Thats when people will look for "cures" and download viruses. Thats what I read, anyway.
I'm just checking Spybot Shelley, I've used it for years and never had to subscribe :nhy: | |

| avant is a browser Shelley. sorry, think I've given you the wrong link. Avast is a good, free antivirus program. It will slow your pc a little but they all will. Avast has a free home edition you need to register your email address with and they send you a key for a year. You can renew for free again the next year. I've used spybot and avast for years with a windows firewall and never have anything serious on my pc, just a few tracking cookies and shit which spybot deletes for me. http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html This is what I use. Hopefully you meant this anyway, I get it mixed up with avant all the time. | |
