Beware the Facebook Malicious Extension

Postby Fuyu » Thu Dec 24, 2015 12:26 am

If you're using Facebook chances are that you might receive a notification by one of your friends to a video called "Secret +18 Video". Do not click it no matter how much it tempts you. By doing so, if you use Google chrome, you'll get an extension called "Enal" (damn nearly the word that starts with an "a") that'll comment the same video to your friends, won't be able to delete your own comments, nor go to options or logout, Google Chrome won't even recognize the logout URL.

If you have already clicked on the video and got that extension, go to Settings/Extensions and delete it. I assume the process on Mozilla Firefox would be similar.

I remember this happening before also. It's somethong when one of ur friends get's a virus on their pc and you suddenly get random messages like what you said.

I once got a message from a friend saying he found a pic of me and asked if that's actually me. The link looked way too suspicious and i did ask him what happened and she told me that her Computer caught a virus and that already a lot of her friends asked her the same.

Yeah, that's pretty much what this extension does, but it's not a virus, thank god. Just wanted to let you all know about it in case you encounter it and have trouble getting rid of it.

I don't click on that kind of stuff anyway, even if it's not malware.

That porn link appeared once on my personal Facebook profile, luckily I knew that clicking it will install viruses on PCs, so I didn't do that.
Spoiler: show
A friend of mine got under detention just for the porn that appeared on her profile.

who cares about facebook anyway
Nah jk, I really hate people who do stuff like this.

Another goood tip is to not use ClipConverter, it has a habit of directing me to open ads >_>

I actually use ClipConverter very frequently and I don't get any ads. Do you use Google Chrome? If so do you have AddBlocker Plus installed? It helps a lot.

I meant to say porn ads but auto correct >_>

Yes, I use Chrome. It usually happens when I try to use it on mobile. But it doesn't matter because I found a better website :D

en.savefrom.net

I tried using en.savefrom.net once, but the site wouldn't let me download the freaking MP3 of a youtube video because I wasn't registered. The fact that I don't have to register to use ClipConverter made me fall in love with it.

For mp3s, you should use www.youtube-mp3.org
I could always use savefrom without registering, so that's...odd :P

It looks ok, but I'm still more comfortable using ClipConverter, overall because I'm used to it.

If you look for porn then go to a Porn Club or so and enjoy yourself the night /S

What the heck kind of a place is a porn club? Is it a place where people like to go to share their favorite adult media?
