Virus attack on Greek facebook pages
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A new virus alert has Greek Facebook users worrying all day. Many Greeks woke up this morning to find zipped archives from Facebook friends in their inboxes. Most of them contained supposed photos or videos with provocative titles such as “this gave me a headache”, “check this out, you'll love it”, or “sexy pics inside”.
The unlucky users who accidentally run the archives, found their browsers swarmed with all sorts of viruses, spreading geometrically on their PCs and laptops. Additionally, the virus is automatically sent to their own friends' inbox, threatening their computers too. The messages with the infected files came from infected friends' accounts, naturally without their knowledge.
PC experts warn users to avoid opening these archives at all cost and delete them immediately. In case they accidentally open them, they should change their Facebook access code, then clean up all temp archives on their browsers (including cookies, history etc.), making sure they have their anti-virus programs updated.
