I Need Help. Is This Due to Facebook Virus?

I have been facing some difficulty with Facebook on my desktop PC and Laptop. It starts a few weeks back when clicks does not response. Then I have to refresh before it works. This morning the Facebook nightmare gets worse. I think the problem is on my laptop. My wife who is using the PC experience some problem with FB on Mozilla, switched to Google Chrome and she can then surf with ease.

When I logged in to my account and click LIKE, or do anything on FB it all will lead to this blank page with the URL.

Then if I refresh the page this error message appears. Even if I click Continue, it will go back to the same page. 

For your info I tried on Google Chrome, Mozilla and even on IE, all produce the same result. I think there  is already the virus thread on my PC that block pages being loaded. My antivirus is McAffee that comes together with my laptop that I bought last December. 

I hope someone can come to my rescue before I proceed to my last resort that is to reformat the laptop. 

Don't Download Chatvibes on Facebook

ChatVibes plant virus thread on your computer. 

If you chat on Facebook, you might receive invitations from your friends to chat using ChatVibes. I thought is will be easier using that plug-in but I was wrong. After downloading there will be a small icon on the chat bar next to the video camera icon for video calling. See the accompanied picture below. If on your first invitation you click on the link given, you will be ask to download the application and save it on your computer. However if you copy the link and past onto your address bar and click, it will lead you to bollywoodworld.com website that has no relation whatsoever to chat.   

I have tried to remove the application but as at this moment to no avail. I tried using the block app in Facebook, but there is no such application listed. I tried using the Add/Remove program in Windows  but the program is not listed there too. It was saved in my C: User folder and removing the program does not Uninstall the plug-in. 

So, the next time you receive an invitation from your friend on FB to chat using Chatvibes, just ignore it. The app will automatically send the invitation to your friend as soon as you click on his/her profile inviting to chat. 

Hope anyone who know how to remove this application from Facebook can help us victims of chatvibes to remove the plug-in.

A check on the chatvibes websites explain this;

To remove the ChatVibes Toolbar go to control panel->Add remove programs and uninstall ChatVibes. To remove ChatVibes from your browser all you need to do is to disable the ChatVibes add-on (on IE or Firefox) or extension (on Chrome) from your browser's tools/options menu. 

However there is no such Chatvibes on the Add remove programs in the Control Panel on my PC or Laptop.

I have been one of the victims and hope other will not be added to the list after reading this post.  

Web Intrusion

I received a message from Google regarding an intrusion into my email account. Google warned me that an unknown person tried to access my Gmail. Google advised me to change my password and I heed the advice.

I did not expect that my there is someone interested in my email and tried to open it.

With today’s advancement in software technology, such intrusion will become a normal activity especially when one is not well protected.

Lately there is some weird activity on Facebook chat function. A few time I received chat request from known friends which turn out to be something suspicious after a few times. The chat box pops up and it is from someone you know with a greeting. Once answered he/she will ask with this question, do you wanna laugh? With your response your ‘friend’ will send you a link. Luckily I did not click on any link. At first I thought it’s a genuine ‘hi’ from my friend. After a few times receiving the same operation, I guess its some sort of malware or phishing activities.
