Issue With Facebook Asking Users To Download Antivirus Software


Recommended Posts

Have any of you experienced this within the last day or so that have bots automating Facebook

where they are asking your customers to download an antivirus software when using your bot?

 

See the message below in the image that I have seen come up quite a few times within the 

last day or so.  Does anyone know what this is from exactly as not everyone including myself

is experiencing this, just some people?

Its likely from a site they have visited prior to visiting facebook, it a that scripts that has been placed on their machine.  Facebook being so popular its almost a given that the victim will have a facebook account and so hence the script.

 

Does your bot clear all browsing history cookies and such, this is a good idea. Does your customers have the same warning when just using a regular browser, if so which ones, use a different one.

 

Get them to do a good virus scan ect on their computer as well.

 

You can guarantee that its not targeted for bots because bots dont follow links in unintended pop ups, and this is what the popup is intended for.

 

hope it helps :)
