If you don't click on the link, you will be fine. It's not a virus, which is good news- viruses infiltrate your computer. So this will not mess up your computer as long as you delete the wall post. It's a hacking program, similar to what happens on myspace. Basically, when you click on the link, the program gets your password and spams all your friends.

It's kind of funny to see whose account ends up posting all that stuff... because then you know which of your friends was dumb enough to click on the link.

Just delete the wall posts. Don't click on the links because you will most likely get a virus unless your computer has a firewall that stops you from viewing the site or warns you that it has a virus.

Yeah, I've been getting them as well, and I don't really think that there is a way to block it. And the best thing really to do is to delete the wall posts which come up. And as for the links....I don't think that they don't do anything but to be on the safe side, don't click on them. Until this dies out, I'd just suggest that we all sit tight and wait it out really.

I hope this helped,
triquetra
