I have been seeing some posts by some strange people that are friends with Hoffman Racing, Daron Clayton, Dave Darland other racers with pages on Facebook. They all start with "YO (name here), why do I see you tagged in this vid?" DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!!! It is either a virus or a hacker trying to steal your info. Just a heads up.

I have seen the same posts in comments about iPads and others. In short, if you know the person personally and they are spamming the crap out of their friend lists, call them, send them a message, or just get a hold of them and tell them to change their password right then. Same thing has happened in chat messages also.

I also don't click on the ones that say something about seeing people who look at your profile views.

Friday, our company just added Facebook to the list of blocked websites. I like Facebook and this action cramps my style insofar as lunchtime surfing but I can't blame them with all the above stuff going on there.

you can solve this issue entirely by just having updated antivirus and malware protection.

This is what I use...

http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Pay version allows real time checking... Spend the $25

Someone should contact Facebook. Personally I don't use it or go there.

Is it possible to check mobile devices (like Android) via Malwarebytes? Thanks!
