How To Remove “Yeah!! It Happens On Live Television” Spam From Facebook

You might be noticing spam with a video titled “Yeah!! It Happens On Live Television” appearing on your wall or more precisely on your timeline again and again and you might be wondering what are your friends actually posting. Then out of curiosity you too might have at least clicked on it once. This is a virus or so-called spam with a partially nude picture, which gets posted with your name to all of your friends if you click on it. Here we take a look at how to remove “Yeah!! It Happens On Live Television” spam from Facebook:

The spammer has cleverly succeeded in posting the usernames in the post which appear in your timeline. This further enforces you to think that the video is actually a valid post that has been posted by your friend since it directly provides the name with an urge to watch the video.

 

How This Spam Works

Firstly clicking on the link will spam your friend’s wall with the link with your name and then it will send you to a page that is quite similar to the one given here.

After that, it will ask you to install an extension in Chrome or if you are using Firefox then it will ask you to install some plugin for the video, and if you still proceed then, in the end, the page might simply get refreshed or a lame video might be played leading you to be annoyed that the intended video was not a real one.
