Here is simple step by step on how to remove StalkDaily Twitter profile virus.

1. In your browser, clear your cache and empty all of your cookies. (This can be found in your settings.)
2. Log out of TweetDeck or any external applications you are using.
3. Check the URL and location areas of your profile (in Settings/Account on Twitter.com) for evidence

of any malicious scripts. It?ll be obvious – something you haven?t added to these areas yourself. If you find anything, remove it. (Note: there was nothing in my profile, but I was still hit. Taking the rest of these steps still fixed the issue.)
4. On Twitter.com, change your password.
5. Log back in. It should be okay. If so, log back into TweetDeck et al.
6. Go back and delete any tweets sent by you recommending StalkDaily. This is important.
7. Report @stalkdaily in a tweet to Twitter?s @spam account as follows: @spam @stalkdaily
