Exclamation Virus on Facebook

Just an FYI for those who haven't heard and feel free to update or share any additional info you may have. The last I heard was from a friend who posted this on her profile.

VIRUS ON FB using your pictures. It says you have been tagged in a picture, wants you to click on a link to see it, then hacks into your computer & all your accounts, including banking & other secure accounts. . Once hacked into your computer, it ...sends e-mails to your friends telling them they have been tagged in pictures & starts the process again. PLEASE RE-POST so we can all be aware of our safety4

Facebook is a giant VIRUS on it's own.

FB is a hacker's paradise . Some people will click anything and I have seen no evidence Facebook is making any real effort to prevent it .
A hoax application will be reported and removed but only after thousands of people have fallen victim to it . Within a few days the same developer will replace it with a similar hoax .
