Stefan Andjelkovic says: “I cannot open pretty much anything on my profile,friends page,chat box,status,etc.”

That sounds like typical Facebook. Stuff likes to not load from time-to-time.

This a hoax !

Fan check is sending mail to you because it tags your picture on the fan board.

So, each time a fan post a comment of the fan board you will receive it because the guy whose is running Fan Check belongs to your address book.

Thats’s why people thought that it is a virus.

3 solutions :
- untag your name of the fan board ; this will only remove the notification of photo comment
- remove your friend
- change your notification settings

This text has nothing to do with reality. It’s a hoax. This article is very unprofessional as it raises unjustified fear. Check my website for explanation on what this is.

This is a hoax. The Facebook app seems fine, but there are LOADS of nasty sites pretending to carry info about the “virus”. From those sites you may get infected.
Device Mag should be more responsible than simply sow panic!
