The virus is technically a trojan worm that disguises itself as an email from facebookmail.com. People are enticed to <a href="http://www.mcpdumps.com" rel="nofollow">mcp dumps</a> click on a misspelled video or picture link that directs to a malicious web site. The worm spreads its tentacles by emailing everyone on the victim’s friend list. According to anti-virus software company Symantec, the trojan works by executing a worm called W32.Koobface.A that searches for cookies on the user’s machine. If the worm finds the appropriate Facebook cookie, it modifies the users account settings and profile - adding links to malicious sites to trick others into installing the invader. Facebook discussion boards talk about the trojan directing users to a page which looks like YouTube. The phony page asks the user to install a video player upgrade. Installing the fake upgrade allows the worm to work its magic and access files on the victim’s machine while destroying their Facebook account.
