Can’t get rid of Invitation Facebook Virus from Windows 7? Every time i want to open Facebook then my search results were redirected to other sites that look malicious, this is annoying ! How to fix this problem?

What is Invitation Facebook Virus or Spyware?

The Invitation Facebook Virus is a browser adware add on that claims to offer money savings coupons and online shopping specials exclusive to its member base. Users can install the browser add on by visiting the official webpage, but they have been knows to spread this and sneak it onto the computers of thousands of unsuspecting PC users. Very similar to Browse to save, this virus can completely crash down your system. The truth is that this does not save money for the user; it is an adware program that will continue to flood the users computer with advertisements and pop up ads. These will never stop and will pop up while visiting websites and logged onto the Internet.

It is installed along with other programs and software and although the installation instructions and confirmation will make note that it is also installing the Invitation Facebook Virus, many users don’t even read the fine print so this is how they are able to drop this onto so many computers without the user being aware as to what they have agreed to. It has the ability to infect the following Internet browsers: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox, all of which run off the Windows operating system.

Once it has been installed it will begin to go to work immediately and start to change the registry settings so that it is activated right away upon start up. The browser settings will also be changed and any search performed will be redirected to malicious websites that contain other potentially harmful attacks as well as advertisements and pop ups. Even when browsing on websites the pop ups will continue claiming to offer savings and special offers, but they are just malicious ads. If you visit the Invitation Facebook  official website you will see that it is poorly constructed and doesn’t look legitimate and that is why they have forcefully installed it by packing it with other downloads. Very few people would voluntarily install this onto their computer thinking that it is really going to offer exceptional savings like claimed.
