First of all, you should remember that Koobface is a multi-platform worm, what means that it is capable of affecting Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. So, the answer to your second question is 'Yes, it does'. For checking your machine and making sure that it is free of Koobface, you should use a reputable security software. If you are using Mac OS, you should try WEBROOT SECUREANYWHERE ANTIVIRUS, which has been included to the top ten of the most powerful antiviruses of 2015.

1. Reboot your Android device into Safe Mode:
* Find the power button and press it for a couple of seconds until you see a menu. Tap the Power off.
* Once you see a dialog window that offers you to reboot your Android to Safe Mode, select this option and OK.
BEWARE that booting Android into Safe Mode differs from version to version, so this may fail to work for you. In this case, make a quick web search and find a method that works for your machine.
2. Now any third party apps you have downloaded and installed on your device are disabled, so you have a chance to uninstall malicious app (FBI Android virus may hide under BaDoink, Video Player, Flash Player, Network Driver System, Video Render, ScarePakage and other suspicious names):
* When in Safe Mode, go to Security -> Device Administrator and select Flash Player or other suspicious entries
* Then click Deactivate.
* Now go to Settings and click on Apps or Application manager (this may differ depending on your device).
* Here, look for previously mentioned malicious app(s) and uninstall all of them.
If this failed, enter a random, 15 digit length, code of imaginary MoneyPak xpress Packed voucher that is asked by FBI android virus.
Good luck and feel free to contact us again if something fails to work for you.
