facebook spam from my account
« on: March 23, 2012, 09:08:24 PM »
Hello.

I believe there I got something on my computer that keeps liking a page on Facebook that then updates my status and replies to my friends status lines with spam messages. I scanned the computer with boot scan( translating from another language, so u may call it differently), I used malwarebytes. nothing helped. People tell me to try another antivirus, but I've been using avast for years now,with great satisfaction and this is my chance to try and help improve it.

Hope I'm not violating any forum rule. I'm new here, and need your help and guidance

start a new topic in virus and worms section and attach the logs requested    http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Follow this guide, and attach logs form OTL / aswMBR

Followed that post. Nothing came up on the scans, so i think they won't help.

I tried something since I posted. I closed FB on Chrome, and opened it on Firefox. So far, more than one hour of spam free. It seems as if my chrome is bugged. I probably gave permission to something spammy, but I can't find what it is.

So you can say my problem is less annoying now. I want to see if this is something that avast guys want to look at. I can delete chrome and re- install it, but I am waiting to see if we can catch that worm  .

Do you still need me to run scans again and post logs?
