Facebook is working on filtering a piece of nuisance malware that poses as a �Facebook antivirus� application that -- when it�s installed -- puts several dozen photos on a victim�s Facebook wall and tags their friends in them. Once their friends click on the �tagged� photo, they are offered the fake anti-virus.
Spellings include: �F�acebook Antivirus,� �Facebook Antivirus� and �Antivirus in Focebook�
Facebook Insider said Facebook is filtering the fake tags and gives instructions for removing tags of ones self from friends� photos.
