My mom opened a video somebody sent her yesterday and it's been sending it to 20 of her friends at a time in a message two minutes apart.

It's not a Youtube link this time.

They are titled weird shit like.. What a shame, y.ou g.ot s.o busted! and the file names include stuff like Monster.co, candid film and etc.

Her virus scan turned up nothing and password was changed but it sent out another 4 groups of videos "all different" to her friends again today.

I went to Application settings and clicked added to profile tab in drop down box and a videos tab was the only thing added to profile.

I just removed the video tab but i'm not sure if that was the way to go but it can be added back if not.

Anyone know what the hell?

I have a picture in my profile pics that I didn't put there. One of those "see who's peeking at you" type of things. I've tried to wipe it off but can't figure it out.

I don't open videos from anyone on facebook anymore. The only time I tried, my computer went haywire.

her password needs to be consisted of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Example: ch3$@peak3

people think their middle name and 123 after it is secure... lol.

I fix computers for a living now, so if she needs me to work on it, let me know.

There was a similar exploit being sent to people on your friends list of msn messenger. Threat level was low. Was not harmful, just annoying. All you had to do for that was change your msn password.
