Facebook Virus Spreads Under Sexy Video Disguise

Facebook users are targeted by a new Trojan malware that spreads disguised as a link to a Distracting Beach Babes video. Yeah, that’s the oldest trick in the malware book, but not surprisingly, it will unfortunately work with many (most?) unsuspecting users. Obviously, you should *not* click on the link unless you want to the malware downloaded and installed on your PC – that would be the beginning of much bigger troubles because new malwares are hard to remove.

If you’re really paranoid, you can scan your computer for viruses and all, but I think that as long as you don’t click on the link, you should be OK. [via gather.com]
