Over the past week, a virus has been spreading across Facebook. It comes in the form of a link that appears to be a picture hosted on Facebook and at first glance, it looks pretty similar to a legitimate Facebook Picture link. The link appears to lead to a .jpg, but actually loads a .exe that can exploit weaknesses on your system. If you see any suspicious links, make sure they are from facebook.com as the virus has been spreading with a domain like “album.facebook-photo .info” and other domains that are supposed to trick the user into thinking they are from Facebook.
A real Facebook Image link would look like this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=67815&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=202282699383&id=100000683065632
