Step away from Facebook, people.

Ok, you don’t have to turn it off (breathe), but you do have to be careful. There are reports online that there is a worm attacking Facebook, MySpace and other social networks.

According to one report:

“The latest version arrives as an invitation from a user’s friend or contact, inviting them to click on a link and view a video at a fake YouTube site and install an Adobe flash plug-in. Instead, the worm installs a trojan horse program, giving control of the infected user’s computer.”

Be wary of any unsolicited messages containing links, even from your “friends.”

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
