FB-virus

So in this blog I will explain how to remove it, how does it works and why it is still not removed by facebook


How to remove

So those of you who just came here to see how to remove it, it can be done in following steps probably

  1. Go to chrome settings
  2. Click on Extensions in the sidebar
  3. Remove a extension called chromesecurity
  4. Also remove extensions that you don’t remember installing.

Congrats your virus have been removed


How it works

So it basically host an app on Heroku (Heroku is an app hosting site), So when a user clicks on the link of the virus, it installs a extension on chrome and that extension chooses some of your fb friends. It downloads their profile photo and name, and then creates a new app on heroku and than post that link on their wall. And the loop continues


Why it is still not removed by facebook

My guess is as it post videos on some of the friends timeline not all, so it remains undetected due to low activity
