Fan Check, il malware, e il falso antivirus

facebook security

Sul profilo di Facebook Security è apparso un messaggio piuttosto allarmante, che avverte gli utenti di fare attenzione alle applicazioni sospette che potrebbero veicolare virus, e in particolare a quei finti antivirus che in realtà sarebbero degli insospettabili malware.

We’re getting reports of malware disguised as anti-virus software that’s using a rumor about a Facebook application to spread. As always, be alert, and if a piece of software seems suspicious, don’t download it. Please share this with your friends.

Insomma, gira la voce che un falso antivirus prometta di liberarvi il computer da una pericolosa applicazione Facebook infetta, mentre l’antivirus stesso sarebbe in realtà un virus.

Una storia complicata ma abbastanza familiare a chi in passato ha scaricato una apps conosciuta come Stalker Check o Fan Check, che prometteva di farvi vedere chi visitava il vostro profilo o le vostre foto. Ebbene, sembra che basti diventare fan dell’applicazione per essere infettati dal virus.

La voce (non confermata però da Symantec) ha fatto il giro del mondo, e gli hacker ne hanno approfittato, creando falsi siti che promettevano di liberare il computer da questo virus, mentre in realtà ne istallavano un altro molto più pericoloso.

Noi di IoChatto vi ricordiamo di non scaricare software sospetto da Facebook, e di segnalare ogni strano comportamento a [email protected] l’indirizzo di posta dedicato alla segnalazione degli abusi su Facebook.

  1. I have observed that in the world of today, video games are definitely the latest popularity with children of all ages. Occasionally it may be unattainable to drag young kids away from the games. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are several educational games for kids. Interesting post.

  4. Thanks for your post on this blog site. From my own personal experience, there are occassions when softening upwards a photograph might provide the professional photographer with a bit of an creative flare. Sometimes however, the soft cloud isn’t what precisely you had in your mind and can in many cases spoil an otherwise good picture, especially if you consider enlarging it.

  11. I have learned newer and more effective things by means of your weblog. One other thing I’d prefer to say is the fact that newer pc os’s are inclined to allow extra memory to get used, but they in addition demand more storage simply to operate. If someone’s computer is not able to handle a lot more memory as well as newest program requires that memory space increase, it may be the time to buy a new PC. Thanks
