Fake Facebook E-Mail Messages Contain Viruses PDF Print E-mail

There is an e-mail scam designed to appear to be from the Facbook team. The fake message warns of a policy update which you must agree to by downloading and running a file which comes attached to the e-mail message. Do not download this file as it is clearly a virus. This is yet another attempt at tricking users into infecting their own computers.

If you see this message, delete it and do not download the attachment:

Dear Facebook user,

Due to Facebook policy changes, all Facebook users must submit a new, updated account agreement, regardless of their original account start date.
Accounts that do not submit the updated account agreement by the deadline will have restricted.

Please unzip the attached file and run "agreement.exe" by double-clicking it.

Thanks,
The Facebook Team
