That is the problem encountered by some of the facebook users, try to adjust you privacy settings change it to visible only with friends. It should do the trick. These are Malwares adopted by other sites/adversaries of Facebook.

Not really a virus. It happened to me before, it's like an application that automatically post something on my friend's wall. But if post is something personal, not an application type, someone out there can access your account. I saw a blog before wherein there's this software that they are using to access other face book's account. Be careful then.

hi enyoung,
What kind of post are these? was it like a link or does it post a certain application on your friends wall such as widgets? Your account may have been hacked already and it is best to change your password. I experienced getting virus from the link that was forwarded to me by a friend (ie. video messages, photo download, etc.)

oh... delete them and change your password.. your account might have been hacked or there has been some malware on your account... probably some malware scripts are posted in your account.. i dont know.. it used to happen a lot in friendster... i didnt know it happens in facebook too
