Now you have came across this post as you found your Facebook profile has posted some inappropriate content over your friend’s wall. Well did you forget to logout your Facebook account on some library  or cafe computer? Maybe your friend’s house? Hey did you accidentally click on that click while you were wondering is this really a virus? There are bunch of questions popping out your brain and your Facebook account is really one of the important things you have got so we really need to figure this out.

Let’s change password of your Facebook account.

Yes, you simply have to change your Facebook account password at very first. This is one of the important step you have to take to avoid such spams. You might have been a victim of phishing or accident somehow spam bots may have got your password, or some human. Change your Facebook password right away and create a really strong password. I mean something like this.

Keep your Facebook password logical but not too hard to remember. You can create logic, don’t keep it simple like your date of birth or name of yourself, either your cell phone number or blackberry’s pin. It must have logic and very complicated to guess that logic.

Delete extra seasons from your Facebook account

What if some applications are badly using your Facebook account through your computer. You have to delete their active season as soon as you change your password. To delete active season go to Acount Settings > Security (from left pan) > Active Seasons. Delete all the seasons except current one. Make sure you have added only known devices in Recognized Devices.

Remove unwanted Facebook apps

Few applications are being used to spread such things, you have to remove unwanted applications and also those which look malicious. You can also revoke the rights of application for posting on walls. This would help reducing spam. Click here to see how would you do that.

Get some Antivirus installed

What I personally prefer most of the users to install as antivirus is Avast. Due to the reason it also has boot-scan, it has free version too. It also catches the online virus which infects your computer without knowledge while you are browsing.

Hope this helps you get rid of spam, viruses and malwares.
