I don't normally post these but as it has happened to me I thought I'd break my rule aboout circulating virus warnings.

I had a message with the following text through a facebook friend (I've edited the url so it doesn't create a link):

“Hollly sshit! Is thaat reallly you in tthis videeo?

//ahjksobvllbokwxwv.blogspot”

It will try to download a trojan virus to your machine, Kaspersky (for definate as it blocked it from infecting my machine), Symantec and McAffee have this one listed.

If in doubt, don't click on a suspect link.

Well it's a handy way of keeping in touch with friends that are not nearby, besides my firewall/anti virus/antispyware did it's job.
