Facebook Attacked by Koobface Virus

Attention Facebook users: today Facebook has been attacked by the Koobface virus. This virus is similar to old worms from years ago which spreads through infected friend lists. How it infects a computer is that it will tell the Facebook user something like "You look funny in this new video," and prompt the user to open the link. After doing so it will show that a Flash update is needed. Letting the "Flash Update" to begin is the key for the virus to get into the computer. But not to worry, even if anyone did get tricked, there is a solution which Facebook has posted that can be found here or go to http://www.facebook.com/security
