Fan check application virus - ligitimate application?... or virus! Facebook users are making reports that the application virus lies dormant for 48 hours.
[H]ackers have set up websites pretending to be about the “Facebook Fan Check Virus”, but which really host fake anti-virus software which display bogus warnings about the security of your computer in an attempt to get you to install fraudulent software and cough-up your credit card details.
In a Softpedia article, the creator of Facebook Fan Check, Janakan Arulkumarasa, a developer based in Hong Kong, defends his application from virus rumors, saying it “is NOT a malicious app. Unfortunately, some malicious developers have been spreading a lie that is – and encouraging people to download fake virus scanning software, which damages their computer. This is very unfortunate, but has nothing to do with us.”
