ALERT: Facebook Antivirus Is Completely Fake

While protecting your computer from potential hazards on Facebook is a great idea, the latest Facebook Antivirus application is completely fake.

As F-Secure points out, “once installed on one friend’s account, this application tags 20 friends into a picture”.
