99% of people can't watch scam 

There is a scam going around Facebook trying to get you to watch a video. Do not open it or your account can get compomised. Below is a picture of one of the many scams going around.

   

There are other ones besides this pimple one so be careful. The above is only an example of them.

If you have opened it, you will need to do the following

  1. Change your Facebook password

  2. Unshare that post

  3. Update and run your anti-virus program

  4. Run Malwarebytes

  5. You should be OK at this point but if you are still having issues, see Virus Troubleshooter for help
