FB Accounts Locked for Scan

Facebook found a new use for some of the Mafia Wars spam we see in our news feeds.  Unfortunately many of these requests are in a players advantage to accept and they will now be slowed down due to a forced malware checkpoint. Players are now getting locked out of their Facebook accounts until they complete the viral scan either McAfee or Microsoft Essentials.  So far players have reported getting this game interrupting check point while clicking on a Stranger’s Swag or War request. Zynga needs to talk to Facebook and get this nonsense to stop. Mafia Wars requests are an annoying part of the game but they aren’t malware nor will they hurt anyone’s computer. Obviously Facebook is getting paid by the companies offering these free but forced scans (see image #6).  Below is a the process players locked out of their accounts need to go through in order to get them back.
