F’acebook Antivirus
Notice the misspelling in Facebook. Facebook was pretty quick to remove this particularly nasty scam, but not before hundreds of thousands of profiles were infected. People have been wising up and deleting these scams as soon as they appear, but this one doesn’t seem to want to be deleted! Users on Facebook forums have been complaining that after deleting it, the photo remains.TIP: According to Facebook Insider, there is only one way to remove this scam from your profile:
- Open your photos
- Click the offending picture
- Look for your name in the list of people tagged
- Click the ‘Remove Tag’ link that appears beside your name
- The photo will then disappear. Just deleting it will not work.
