Default New Worm Targets Facebook & MySpace

New Worm Targets Facebook & MySpace

Warn your friends and family that a new worm is making the rounds on Facebook and MySpace. That “cool video” from a friend might be a virus…or another Paris Hilton video…both of which can lead to infections.

The messages look like they contain links to video clips. When clicked on they prompt the recipient to download an executable file that purports to be the latest version of Flash Player. Instead, it is the worm itself, infecting yet another victim.
