Have AVG Internet Security. My Facebook Account Account was hacked today, w/o warning from AVG.. But Facebook identified it. Is it time for me to find another Security System than AVG? (You DO have access to related logs..)
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. AVG will notify you when there is a threat. Could you share us the screenshot of account hacked message identified by the facebook?
Sorry no screenshots, sorted it out iaw Facebooks recommendations.. And appologized to all friends. My AVG account IS set for you to get those informaions.
I apologize, Bjorn Could you please elaborate your previous message?

I was seeing a live YouTube film on the Swedish Armed Forces channel from a ceremony. When finished, I opened Facebook to link the above mentioned ceremony to my timeline. When opening FaceBook, I was told my account had been hacked, and I was told to change my password, using "second source" verification.

When opening FaceBook, I was told my account had been hacked, and I was told to change my password, using "second source" verification. When done and opening the FB, I found that someone had managed to enter an item on my timeline. This made it look like I was advertising that buying BitCoin was a failproof way of making money.
Of cause I deleted it directly, without opening it fully. And no; I never had and never will get my self involved w crypto money. No warning/reaction from my AVG Internet Security. If it automatically (and silently) was reported to you, I can not tell.
I understand, Bjorn We need to know why this happened in the first place and why AVG didn't notify you. With the screenshot of the message, we will be in a better place to assist/clarify you. For the safety, change the password and do let us know if you face this again.
