Facebook Gampass Computer Virus

A 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.
