Opened a fake email with attachment from facebook now I am panicking.

plodder73

I got what on reflection was obviously a fake email from facebook, with an attachment which I stupidly opened. I wouldnt mind but I never really go on facebook. It purported to be that a friend had posted something on my wall.

Clearly fake, this was obvioulsy sent for some purpose and now I am worried that some little !!!!!! has my details and may be robbing me blind. On the plus side my computer seems to be running fine. How do I find out if something bad has got into it? Also my accounts also seem to be ok.

Cant understand why I would have been sent this email if something sinister wasnt going on. Any advice please

straight away change the password on your facebook account and check none of your personal details , ie email address, have been changed

download this

http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

update as it installs and do a full scan

pot the log file it produces

Id use the inbuilt windows virtual keyboard to change the password (in case a keyloggers been installed)

Thanks for the replies, I have deleted my facebook account, didnt use it anyway. As for the advice I am a computer idiot and most of the above sounds like a foreign language to me. I really do appreciate your help but I havent a clue what pot the log means!

at the end of the scan a box will pop up with lots of text in..
hold down your left button and move till all the screen is blue then right click on the blue and select copy. Come here and when you post reply right click again and select paste

True keyloggers etc, tend to be very difficult to pinpoint (Most av programs would completely fail to fnd them). Im not saying you have one, I just cant say for certain you dont have one

Please run COMBOFIX
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
Shut down your anti virus
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be) ~ if there are loads of 'SNAPSHOT' pages then leave them out
If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
(If no log comes up or you lose it, COMBOFIX.TXT can be found in C drive)
