Zynga ToolBar Is Hacked?

If you have installed Zynga Mafia Wars Toolbar, you will see one changing.. I notice it happens if you use Internet Explorer and FireFox.

This is my toolbar now.. so Zynga's Toolbar is hacked!


There is a button suggesting you to login to FaceBook. Don't do this!

I see one thread there on Zynga forum discussing about this issue.. You can join it here :
http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?t=774678


All you can do now is uninstalling and changing your password, just to be safe!
How to uninstall it?
(I quote this info given by kotfw from the thread)
If you are running windows go to start (or the windows icon - As though you were going to PC/laptop down) from the taskbar (usually at the bottom of the screen), control panel, uninstall a program (or add/remove programs) then scroll down and find Zynga toolbar, click on it and then select uninstall. then re-start your PC/Laptop.

There is also one suggestion to do this :
CLEAR YOUR TEMP FILES BEFORE CHANGING PASSWORD
If you changed it already, clear them and do it again, as IF its dropped a worm your new password is not safe.
Thanks to Slinxy from Zynga thread for the screenshot and info..

Al Catraz, the Super Moderator has awared with this and reporting it to the Developer team..
but then I see this posted by Al Catraz..



Here is the link to go to Conduit Forum :
http://forum.conduit.com/experts/rockholmi-ru-toolbar/msg42345/#new

I will have to quote the info there too posted by David, the Administrator of the forum..
Removing the toolbar should be very easy:

From Internet Explorer:
- Go to the “Start” menu -> Control Panel -> “Add/Remove programs”.
- In the list of programs, find the name of the toolbar you have installed and click on “remove”.

From “FireFox":
- Open FireFox and go to “Tools”
- Select “Add-Ons”
- Select the “extensions” tab
- Find the name of your toolbar
- Press uninstall at the toolbar window
I think I got headache now, I am not a computer experts..
Meanwhile, you can remove your Toolbar and don't install it until we have formal info from Zynga about this.

Thanks for reading, guys..


PS : Special thanks to Mak for the info.. Credit goes to Conduit Forum!
