More news has been released about the Fan Check Virus. Rumors are circulating that it is a hoax, but the Fan Check Virus is not a hoax. The Facebook Fan Check Virus is real, and it will infect you if you visit the Fan Check application.
There are reports that it compromises accounts after becoming a fan of the application. This may be true, but there are also confirmed reports that just visiting the Fan Check application leads to acquiring a virus.
Our team is currently investing these reports about the Fan Check Virus and will report in on it when we find out more about it.
In addition to Registry Easy, we have verified that people with NoAdware installed have been rendered immune from the Fan Check Virus. Our team has found that both products have protected vulnerable computers from registry modifications that the Facebook Fan Check Virus makes.
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.
