• Some odd virus going around Facebook? Help me out.
    8 replies, posted
One of my buds on Facebook posted on my wall. There was a link. I'm going to post what he wrote. Click at your own risk: :* [url]http://witfotosonicsa.com/pictures281.php?w=Tamas&video.avi[/url] Feher heheehehehe I don't know what it is. I clicked it and it prompted me to download an exe file. Being the stupid fuck I am, I ran downloaded it, virus scanned it, then ran the exe. Nothing happened, so I tried 2 more times. Nothing. I opened up task manager and ended the process, then deleted the exe. I then returned to Facebook to discover that my friend has also posted this same link to other people's walls. On top of that, my recent activity suddenly shows that I have posted this link to 100s of my other friend's walls. It contains the same link sent to me, with the last name of the person it was sent to automatically written before the "heheehehehe" part. I am currently running a full system virus scan and I've posted a warning on to all my friends telling them not to click any links I may have sent this. Right now, I'm wondering what the hell this is. Has anyone else gotten this sort of thing? Will it send virus to everyone? Is there a virsu on my computer now. Will my computer's monitor cause a nuclear explosion within the next 15 minutes? Anyone have any ideas or is just that I'm a moron as usual and this is some harmless spam tool? EDIT: I deleted shit off my friend's walls. They're fine and I am indeed a dumbass.
It's probably just one of those things that make you spam people, and then they spam people, and so on.
you ran a random exe file from a suspicious looking link your friend randomly posted on your wall? good job
seems legit

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36372405]Think for gods sake.[/QUOTE] I know, I don't seem to do that often enough. I've gone and sifted through the profiles of friend's that the link was sent to and I've deleted the post off each and every one of their walls, so they're good. As TCB said, it's probably just spam thing, but I'm updating all my protection software as you said just in case.

Well then, you're welcome, sweetheart.
This is shit people who don't even use computers know not to do.
Yah, yah I know. I don't know why I did it, I normally know better than this.
