Facebook fake-out

Facebook has once again been hit with fake newsfeeds that say friends of yours are liking something. Here is a screen shot (don’t worry, it’s safe — no links).

Click on one of these links on Facebook and you will get a new Windows system tray item claiming to be an anti-virus program that has determined you need to scan your system.

Don’t mess around with this. If you get hit, run MSCONFIG, launch System Restore, and roll Windows back to the last restore point.
