A number of Facebook users have heard rumours that the Facebook “A Look Back” video feature is somehow malicious. The rumours have caused concern and confusion among users.<\/p>\n

However, the Facebook A Look Back feature is \u00a0perfectly legitimate<\/a> \u00a0and Facebookers should not fear using it if they wish. An entry about the feature in the Facebook help files \u00a0explains:<\/p>\n

A Look Back is an experience that compiles your highlights since joining Facebook. Depending on how long you’ve been on Facebook and how much you’ve shared, you’ll see a movie, a collection of photos or a thank you card.<\/em>You can easily see your A Look Back video by following the URL below while logged into your Facebook account:
\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lookback<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While the feature is perfectly safe, Facebook users should nevertheless watch out for scam messages that attempt to capitalize on it. There have been \u00a0reports of a scam campaign<\/a> \u00a0in which users are tricked into going to a bogus page and installing malware disguised as the A Look Back video. \u00a0<\/p>\n
