Another facebook Virus

I have already posted some information about Facebook virus which ask you to upgrade the video player. You can find here. Here I am going to post about another one which ask you to verify your account. There will be message in your Facebook inbox which appears to be  from Facebook. It looks like 

Sometimes it will state that your account is opened from some unusual location and you have to retrieve your account. Once you will enter your information, it will enter into your account and retrieve every information you have in your system like bank information, credit card information etc. So be careful when you will get such message. Look at above where I have pointed by arrow, it is Facebook application, it is a spam created to get your information from Facebook.Its not the security site of the Facebook. So if you enter the information on clicking on this link, you are not secure. I have clicked on the link for test. Look at the following pic. 

It is asking your every secure information. That is spam. I was across the account security check of Facebook several time but was not asked every information like that. Rather it has asked some security question, asked to identify my Facebook friends not all at once, step by step. So be careful, if you think it is suspicious, ignore the message and try to use your Facebook as usual. If you are able to use your Facebook as usual, don't care about such message rather ignore or spam it. Be secure!

Information about How virus is spreading from facebook!

My Story
One of my facebook friend, on online chat, said me that there is one of my video. I asked him to post it on my  wall but he sent me the link which was looking a little bit abnormal link because it's format was http://some numbers (http://77.244.32.112/639350493 dont click on this though the link does not work at now). I clicked on the link and a page which looks like Youtube shows the heading of the video "Mahesh Ghimire is in leading role, Shocking performance". On the comment of the video, all are from my facebook friend and looks like commenting on me! That leads me to click on the video, but is said to upgrade the flash player. (look at the picture)

My flash player should be up to date, why it is not? So tried to find out this video on the youtube. So I have copied the title and paste on YouTube search box. But no result was there. That was much suspicious but the comments of my friend on the previous page lead me to click there to upgrade my flashplayer! Shocking to me! A message is displayed on the notification area saying virus is detected by your system. Immediately my Antivirus software was not working but showing the notification "Your antivirus software is up to date, No immediate action is required" but my antivirus software was inactive and its logo was changed. I am sure that my system is infected! So I immediately restore its setting to few days back, booted on safe mode and remove some active processes from there with the help of one of my friend.

What is this?

This is a network virus 'Trojan worm' spreading on facebook. PC world state that it is worm named "Koobface" It can collect your profile picture and some information from your cookies of the internet browser. 
A nasty feature of the worm is that it takes the profile picture of the sending infected user and adds it to the linked website. This makes it all look much more legitimate for the potential victim. The worm spreads when a compromised user’s account is used to send message to others with a title such as “LOL. You’ve been catched on hidden cam, yo:”,“Maan,yyou’re great!” , “your ass looks not bad in this video”, “Some0ne thinks your special and has a *Hot_Crush* on you. Find out who it could be*” and a link to a random URL. The linked website is a YouTube-like page that shows a video player along with some comment from your facebook friends ( I think they should be already infected what looks like a standard browser message to update your Flash player. When you will try to update your flash player, you will get infected.

Be Careful!
  • Do not click on the untrusted link. In my case the link was unusual but I made a mistake.
  • If the link said something unusual about you, it could be the trap.
  • Try to find the video on youtube directly searching on youtube. Just type the title on the YouTube, If you cannot find, It can be trap. 
  • Update your flash player from adobe site only. Here is the adobe site link http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html 
  • Share this information of facebook, so all the friends are aware of it.
If you got infected!
  • Restore your system (computer setting to any of previous date, rebooting your computer on safe mode will prompt you to the system restore)
  • Update your antivirus software and scan your computer. If you don't have antivirus software, you can download free antivirus software. For example AVG from www.free.avg.com
  • You can find out more information about how to remove the virus on the comments of this post. If you are unable to see the comment, click here
  • Facebook security helps you to scan your computer  by McAfee Antivirus and prompt you to identify and secure your facebook information. For facebook security, Click here

    Some Facebook Status

     Its not new to us. Almost all people, who have internet connection are using Facebook. Facebook Status is a feature on Facebook which allows users to post messages for all their friends to read. In turn, friends can respond with their own comments, and also press the "Like" button to show that they enjoyed reading it. Now a days, instead of your friends status, Facebook wall is crowded with video post, picture post and many more posts mainly generated through some application. Today I searched some Facebook status on my wall which I have posted here. Lets read the status of some friends:

    Give thousand chances 2 ur enemy 2 become ur friend.
    But never give a 1 chance 2 ur Friend 2 become ur enemy.


    If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together,
    there is something u must always remember.
    u are braver than you believe, stronger than u seem,

    Ohh! he love Bhagbat Gita?

    ‎"I am the conscience in the heart of all creatures
    I am their beginning, their being, their end
    I am the mind of the senses,
    I am the radiant sun among lights
    I am the song in sacred lore,
    I am the king of deities
    I am the priest of great seers…"


    This is how Lord Krishna describes God in the Holy Gita. And to most Hindus he is the God himself, the Supreme Being or the Purna Purushotam.

    I was not thinking to copy status on Nepali font, but I did


    बाँचुञ्जेल नाम लिन, गारो मान्छ मान्छे
    मरेपछि लास हेर्न, कात्रो तान्छ मान्छे ।
    भेट होला भन्दै बाटो, मोडी हिँड्ने पनि 
    लोकाचार दर्शाउन, घाट जान्छ मान्छे ।
    कैयौं साँझ भोकै बस्दा, वास्ता नगर्नेले
    क्रियापुत्री मोटाउन, घोत लान्छ मान्छे ।
    फूल अबिर बर्षाउँदै, रून्चे मुख पारी
    जिम्मेवारी आफ्नो पुरा, गर्या ठान्छ मान्छे ।
    पित्रृनाम्मा दान गरी, ठालू पल्टे पनि
    जिवित् हुँदा खानदिन, मुठी बाँन्छ मान्छे ।
