Facebook Gampass Computer VirusA virus has been infecting popular social networking site Facebook. The virus is causing email messages to be sent to people on "friends" lists asking them to watch a video supposedly on YouTube. Here is the how it looks like: "lol i cant believe these pics got posted….its going to be BADDDD whenher boyfriend sees these http://www.facebook.com.profile.php.id.371233.cn" If you look a little closer at the URL and noticed that it’s completelybogus, leading to some server who knows where. (The .cn at the end isfor China.) A user has to download what purports to be a plug-in to watch the video. The plug-in is actually a Gampass Computer Virus. The bogus email appears to come from a friend. When you are on the fake site, it has their name and profile picture right on the site, so it really believe it a good page.
