Beware of spams around on facebook !

With growing popularity of facebook, it has become a prime platform for spammers and hackers to spread malicious and infected links. Last couple of days, I got two similar links and unknowingly many more of us are are getting these unwanted status posts.


Clicking on the link will spam your friends wall with the link with your name and then it will send you to the page to install an extension.


After you install an extension in Chrome (or if you are using Firefox then it will ask you to install some plugin for the video), in the end, the page might simply get refreshed or a lame video might be played leading you to be annoyed that the intended video was not a real one.

First of all, you should NOT click on this sort of links or videos instead mark them as spam. In case you still have clicked any such link earlier, or even if not, make sure you follow these steps below :

How to stop/remove these spams

Step 1: The first step should be to open browser > Click on Options > Select Addons Or Press Ctrl+Shift+A
