There are more and more new applications for web community Facebook. Now it is unfortunately discovered applications containing false antivirus programs.
As Roger Thompson from the security company AVG searched through the pages in hopes of finding the pages that "cough" malware, he made an interesting discovery.
Thompson found namely a Russian website known to cough malware, with many references from Facebook.
If further research, Thompson came to the conclusion that the references came from a Facebook game called "City Fire Department"
Fake antivirus software
The application operates with iframes that can lead content from a web page to another, as in this case contains a code that automatically downloads a fake antivirus program called "Antivirus Pro 2010"
Being a rogue antivirus program installed on your PC, the program will nag constantly about to buy the program, as long as your PC is on. If you buy the program, the program will not function as anti-virus program, rather, the program is completely without function, only made to push for purchase.
Developers are deferred for hacking
Thompson initially thought it was the developers who made "City Fire Department" who had made malware, but changed the theory that the developers' Facebook password had been hacked.
The application is taken offline, while developers try to solve this problem.
This problem also applies to 3.4 second Facebook Applications that are not named, so be a little cautious when installing the Facebook Applications.
Someone who commented on the article on PCworld.com got this malware and got this resolved by having a system recovery.
