It's back - the Koobface worm that was around last July. It spreads via FB messages that appear and look like a video with a luring name. It redirects the user to another website for download of the software. That's how it gets you. The software is malicious.  Keyphrase: download. Any time you are asked to download when you are redirected to another site is a BIG sign of a scam, etc. Koobface also surfaced on google in October. It spread using Google Reader and Picassa sites.
