Exclamation Virus Alerts -spread via Facebook, the Koobface.EA worm

Virus Alerts, by Panda Security (http://www.pandasecurity.com)

This week's PandaLabs report looks at the Koobface.EA worm, designed to
spread using Facebook, the Pidief.A Trojan, which takes advantage of an
Adobe vulnerability to infect users and P2Pworm.BJ, a worm designed to
steal the information entered on online forms.

To spread via Facebook, the Koobface.EA worm publishes a video on the
infected users' Facebook page, for all their friends and contacts to see
it. On trying to watch the video, users are redirected to a page similar
to YouTube's.

Then, they are asked to download an Adobe Flash version necessary to
watch the video. This file is actually a copy of the worm.
