"FB" = "facebook"? If so, try getting support there: https://www.facebook.com/help

I don't know about Magiea, but Clam Antivirus runs on almost everything.

I don't think it's a "virus" issue: majority of sites call any malfuctioning of "virus"...

From the Facebook help pages it looks like somebody has been spamming Facebook using your account:
https://www.facebook.com/help/292760...DoZZPg5wqSLlNW
I would think it's more likely that your account details have been stolen than your computer has a virus. It is, of course, completely possible to get a virus under Linux but it is less likely than having your Facebook account password guessed or stolen in some way and your account used to spam people.
