This is so common on facebook and it has to do with people sending links that lead you to go outside of facebook. That has to be the number one rule. When you open a link and it leads you outside of facebook, quit it immediately.
What happens is that the sender now has your id and password and what they do is now send a message to all your facebook friends appealing something like wow love you in this video and the message looks like you sent it so your friends open the message and now are also infected and the original sender now has their id and password and it becomes this vicious cycle.
The only way to be rid of it is to go to your computer setting and restart windows to an earlier date. Meaning a date prior to when you noticed this virus. I would suggest 3 - 4 days prior. Once that is done then log back in to your facebook and change your password. Next time you notice a message or posting that you see well over 20 names also sent to hit delete. Do not get tempted to open it as for some reason people think this is fun and as you are experiencing it isn't.
This will do it for you, I have recommended this to hundreds of facebook users and it works.
Good luck and let me know if you didn't understand how to do it.
