This color change spam app I stupidly picked up on facebook, is making my tech life miserable! I knew when it asked me to fill out a survey and then wouldn't let me out until I did a survey (which was not a survey!)
Here's a list of the damage it's reeked so far:
Spammed to everyone and their brothers.
Put a link in Google chrome.
Couldn't find the app in facebook to disable it!
Posted fake "Color changer" Party events
I tried to change the events (because it would not allow me to delete them) yet it posted another event.
I posted several warnings to my facebook friends, yet some still clicked the event.
Then Facebook shuts down my account, after getting through some security measures they tell me my account is compromised and will need to be partially disabled for a few days.
I can look at facebook, but I'm unable to post anything anywhere, Not even a like.
Ran a basic scan after that, removing 5 infected files.
The next night, had it run a thorough check after re-boot and deleted a few files that infected my windows log files.
I log on Blogger and look at my stats from the last 2 days and everything looked fine.
Then I looked at some facebook posts and articles.
I tried posting an article on my Blogger and I find it posted to a fictional account!
Check my blogger and can't even see my blogs, they're replaced by fake blog names with no stats!
It looked like all my blogs and stats were totally gone, and the ones in it's place had no delete option!
Find a list of all my blogs, and it's full of these fake blogs. Mine are still there but buried.
Do a search for help and find a few people are having same issue starting a few days ago.
Luckily those posts had links for deleting the offending blogs, and directed me to change my password info.
I am posting it here, hoping this will show on my other accounts to forewarn others.
Do not click any color changer anything, for Facebook or Chrome. If you do, get rid of it immediately! Warn your buddies, and run full virus scan. Then change your password in Facebook, Google, and blogger.
How aggravating!
