Facebook is either under attack by a virus, or is suffering a major glitch today with users reporting that their school name has been changed to Vidyartha College.
The so-called Vidyartha College Facebook virus was first reported earlier Tuesday (US PDT) and has since spread across the site.
At this stage we don’t know though what’s causing it, and at the time of writing Facebook has made no official comment.
It is more likely that the so-called virus is a bug on Facebook’s end, with a similar occurrence having happened once in the past. However the application of the name seems to be spreading between friends and isn’t appearing on all accounts, suggesting that maybe there might be something more serious at play.

New Delhi, Sept 30, 2009: The latest virus that has created havoc on the internet is Vidyartha College FaceBook virus. Though exact damage it caused is still to emerge, thousands have already been affected by the virus.
It is second major virus that has come to the fore on the Face book. Earlier this month Facebook Fan Check virus was spotted on this largest social networking site.
Vidyartha College is among top educational institutions in Sri Lanka. A report about the latest virus attack says, “At the moment FaceBook “officials” haven’t said a word about the virus or if it’s indeed a virus or if we’re talking about nothing more than a bug. A very annoying bug that everybody hopes it will go away soon.
Reports say that this has happened in the past, but now the virus is not appearing on all FaceBook accounts, it spreads between friends therefore you should be careful on what you click, and on what applications you allow”.
