Comments on: Facebook appears to be controlling 'wall spam'

Posts containing spam (and possibly viruses) are now disappearing within hours, a sign that the social network has figured out some kind of a fix for the growing problem.

I also some some weird stuff this weekend, but rather than through wall spam, I got messages in my inbox that purportedly went to a site that kind of looked like YouTube, but obviously wasn't and used an onLoad parameter to try to download an .exe file. These were "from" people I never talk to, but are on my friends list.

I also along with a few of my friends received an e-mail over the weekend that said RE: Hi My Friend. "Is This You Having Sex" and a bunch of letters and numbers which appeared to be a link to a video but it wasn't one of my friends made the mistake of opening it and it sent everyone he knew on his friends list and sent them the same message from his profile what the worm actually does I do not know but be advised DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THESE MESSAGES. Facebook manage to catch a couple of these but it went out in such a large quantity some slipped through the cracks so be careful

I use FaceBook primarily to raise awareness for my safety and security web site and products so I am always concerned about safety since it's my business. I appreciate everything FaceBook is doing to keep the community there safe.

So, did you click on a bad email or is you're profile not restricted to just friends? Either way, unless I'm misreading the article, if you're getting random wall messages, it sounds like user error.
