Default Facebook Spam / Virus Issue

Last night on another PC, I was on Facebook and I was just talking to people, nothing that I don't normally do. I sent two people the same couple of youtube links, and after that everything that I would type would get a large yellowish box that said:

Warning! Your account could be disabled.
You are using this feature to spam other users. Continued misuse of Facebook's features will result in your account being disabled. If you have any questions or concerns, you can visit our FAQ page.


I looked the message up and lots of people seem to get it when they add friends too fast, or invite people to games or events too often. I also read that you could have a virus and it's spamming people, but no one says they see spam from me, so I'm not sure whether it's the computer I was on or the frequent youtube links from me. It doesn't happen anymore so maybe it was just a warning from Facebook.

My question is if this is some sort of virus, are there any free antivirus programs that find this sort of spamming-virus? (I don't really know that much about viruses, and different types of computer infections)

Also, do you think I should ask Facebook through their FAQ as to why they said I was spamming?

Thanks

Looks like it's legit. 2nd link tells how to report it to FB.
