There’s a new scam to watch out for on Facebook.
It’s a fake “dislike” button, that if pressed, will run code on your computer leaving you vulnerable to hackers.
The scam appears as a link of your wall saying “Facebook now has a dislike button – click to enable.”
But by clicking the link, you spread it to your friends, and could allow people to access your profile.
Facebook said if something fishy appears on your wall, report it to them right away.
