Just wanted to alert Facebook users to this worm, if you didn't already know about it.

Looks like it pretains to anyone that downloads videos and are asked to download an add-on. It was discovered in 2008 so hopefully it's been taken care of by our anti virus software. Thanks for sharing.

I stopped using FB apps a long time ago for just this reason. You'll never catch me in Farmville or finding out which Star Wars character I am most like.
