Facebook 'dislike' button created by spammers

Monday, August 16, 2010

There is a new scam to watch out for on Facebook.

Computer security experts are warning that scammers are duping Facebook users into adding a bogus "dislike" button to their accounts.

What the application really does is pump out spam and spread itself to your friends' Facebook accounts.

Facebook says it is working on blocking the application completely.

In the meantime, if you get an invitation to add the "dislike" button, you should delete it.
