Default [CTV] Facebook Virus
Quote:
Anti-virus companies are scrambling to identify and stop a a set of viruses that have been traveling across the popular social-networking community FaceBook this week, starting with a worm that was first detected last Thursday by Kaspersky Labs that spread through false messages sent through users' Facebook and MySpace friends list. The messages contained what appeared to be a web url directed toward a video, but when clicked on, users were prompted to download a file purported to be an update for the Flash Player, instead the file was the virus itself. Computers that were successfully infected by the first virus were turned into "zombie" computers that automatically logged onto a botnet and in turn began to spread new copies of the worm to contacts on the user's account.

.. If it infects your computer and sends itself to other computers, its just a worm, not a virus..

Geesh, the perfect storm.

Most Facebook ppl aren't that smart with computers, so they would easily fall for it.
