With the Fan Check Application Virus dropping in popularity and out of the charts in the past few days, a surprise has popped up: The Fan Check Application Virus rumors are back. You know that the virus relied upon users to Google, visit webpages and then download virus-ware.
That is no longer the case, the Fan Check Application Virus only requires users to visit a link posted on Facebook.
The virus has evolved, quite possibly from the botnet that was establishe4d with the last attacks. Users will find their friends posting links to webpages, images and even application links on Facebook. This virus has become even more virulent and dangerous. This new strand of the Fan check Application Virus has become equally dangerous, as none of the major antiviruses we tested have detected it in our tests.
The virus is sending private user data, such as account logins and passwords to hackers to be stored and used for malicious purposes.
Registry Easy is the only program we have found that securely fixes errors in registries that prevents the virus from propagating to the user's system. We are currently advising users heavily to install this program in order prevent being infected by the Fan Check Application Virus.
Important Warning About the Fan Check Virus
Hackers could be buying stolen electronics, making fraudulent purchases with your credit card and getting you into serious legal trouble without you even realizing it.Don't let them. Do something about it before it's too late.
You should know that your computer may already be infected with the Facebook Fan Check Virus. Symptoms of an infected computer include the following:
- System Slowdowns
- Internet Browser Slowdown
- Pop-ups
- Settings being changed
- Random System Crashes or Reboots
The virus is spread by clicking on a link or granting a rogue Facebook application access to your Facebook account. The Fan Check Virus has been known to steal passwords to Facebook Accounts, MySpace Accounts, Web-based Email Accounts (Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail are especially vulnerable to this due to their popularity), and SMTP/POP3 Email Accounts. It then attempts to propagate (with a success rate of 20%) to any contacts on compromised accounts by sending messages, tagging other people in photos and sending emails to other users with a link. The link may appear to be anything from a simple "Hey, check out this video at: [Link]," just "[Link]" (generally using an url shortener such at bit.ly), or even a Youtube-like video posted to a user's wall for his or her friends to see.
Our security team is currently working to prevent the spread of this Facebook Fan Check Virus.
Our tests have found that only NoAdware has been proven to automatically remove the virus. You can find it here. To fix registry errors caused by the virus, both Registry Easy (here) and ErrorSmart (here) will fix them. All three makers of the afforementioned programs have agreed to give users special rebates and coupons in effort to combat the lack of action from major antivirus companies and reduce costs to the user.
That being said, don't be a victim to something you can easily prevent. Don't let yourself be harassed legally or financially by hackers.
