Net-Worm.Koobface!sd6

Net-Worm.Koobface!sd6 is a computer worm which contains characteristics of a notorious worm that spreads through social networking sites. The Koobface worm is clever because it users messages left by so-called friends on social networking sites, so the probability of you clicking on the link is high. The worm fiendishly preys on this user vulnerability. Once the Koobface begins to run, it configures itself to run automatically whenever the system starts, checks for MySpace cookies, and then if it finds them, modifies your profile by adding links to malevolent sites that contain the worm. Avoid clicking on funny video links from unknown MySpace or Facebook users. Use an updated antivirus program to remove this worm from your system.
