Facebook Stalker Virus, also known as FB Stalker Virus, is a malware threat, which belongs to the group of Facebook Virus. While Facebook Stalker Virus may seem to be a normal FB application, which could give PC users the ability to take a look who has been viewing their Facebook profiles, in reality, it has to be avoided. Facebook Stalker Virus can be easily used by scammers to steal personal information from victimized Facebook users. Usually, FB Stalker Virus gathers Facebook's logins, passwords, security questions and their answers, so if the computer user falls victim for this online scam, cybercriminals could easily access the target PC user's account and finally steal it from the victim.

If the PC user falls victim for Facebook Stalker Virus, he/she is immediately diverted to the FBStalker26.com website, which seems to be a normal Facebook login page. FBStalker26.com asks the computer user to enter his/her login details in order to get the ability to use the program and offer it for the friends. However, in reality, FBStalker26.com is a phishing website, which has to be avoided. If the computer user falls victim for entering his/her login name and password, cybercriminals would immediately get the ability to login to their accounts and use them for malicious intentions.
