Beware: New Facebook virus - "look at you haha:P


It appears that there is a new Facebook virus that is going around that may be causing problems.  Unwitting Facebook users are writing on friends' walls with a "Heyy [friend], look at you in this video.. What are you doing?" and attached is a picture with the caption "Look at you haha:P" which is really a link to a Facebook app, not a video.  The picture doesn't have a 'play' button like videos on Facebook. 

If you have seen this, add a comment below with your location so we can see how widespread this is. 
You may get this from friends, and before you realize what it is, you click on it.  Be careful because it is likely not really from your friend.  If you're not careful, you may be sending this app to your friends. 
Malicious people do these things to get attention, They put captions on the messages that make us want to click on them.  Before we realize what they really are, we click on the link.  It is best to always be cautious, even if you know the sender. 
So be careful - don't just click on a link even if you know who sent it to you.
