Facebook 'Dislike' button

3 of the Latest Scams

There is a new virus going round attached to the "Facebook Disilike Button".Somebody has produced a 'Dislike' button for Facebook which contains a nasty virus. If you have put it on your facebook page, there are instructions at the bottom of this post which should get rid of it.

Other scams going round include the old "Telephone advert scam". This has been targeted at website owners by email : the email contains what apears to be a reputable online directory. The email looks like this :-

Payment has not been received for your advert on:
 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com
 
Can you let me know when you will be sending this so I can take you off the system if you are not proceeding?
 
Regards,
It is poorly done, They guess at a name, [and get it wrong] use a Googlemail email address to send out the email and for replies,[ instead of using a company server] and send the email out at the weekend.

The scams to get your bank details are getting more sofisticated, with fake log in pages and the ability to reproduce your current statement. If you are asked to confirm any log in details, don't. Only use the link to your bank you have stored in your favourites.

The information should get rid of the "Dislike Button" virus.

You turn your computer on and most of them you press F9 or F10

where you see black and white screen

Its ask how to turn your computer on You pick SAFE NETWORK MODE

then log in go to control panel add or remove programs

find it and delete it

turn your computer off and turn it back on the way you usually do

that's what I did with the last Virus I had and it worked

GOOD LUCK hope the INFO is useful { information provided by Glock Star }
