Asked By alleya smith 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/07/2011

Hi,

I have a bad experienced on FACEBOOK. One day accidentally i forgot to log out my account and after in just an hour all of my friends received this message “Hello” when my friends made a response it message like this “Wanna laugh?”

Then next message is “ I saw your video in the internet” if your replied then it automatically send you a link.

If you click it, it display binary code numbers and displays an error and freezes so you don’t have a choice but to restart your PC once restarted it will now process very slow and hang.

What’s the problem here is it the Facebook?

The problem you are dealing with the Facebook Wanna Laugh Virus. It is spread when someone click on the link in the chat. There are 2 ways to cure the 'Wanna Laugh' virus.

If you are familiar with registry editor and task manager, the first method will remove the virus really quickly.

• Navigate to the Processes tab at the top of the Task Manager
• Locate fbtre6.exe and mstre6.exe in the list, and press the End Process button
• Then, open the Registry Editor by going to the start menu and typing ‘regedit’ in the search field in Windows 7, or going to start menu, then click run, and type ‘regedit’ in Windows XP.
• Navigate the Registry Editor by clicking the shown folders in the sequence.
• Delete the following entries from the Registry Editor:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionRun”systray” = “c:windowsmstre6.exe”

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionRun”systray” = “C:Windowsfbtre6.exe”

If you are still facing problems, you can always choose to reinstall the Windows after formatting your system.
