Warning to all Facebook users: a new virus is going around that appears to infect the Facebook users' Friends lists. It sends out an email message with a link that asks you to download a plug-in to view a video. One word: don't.

Pass this onto your friends so that they do not download and open this "codecsetup.exe" file.
