A Facebook malware attack is on the loose this weekend, enticing users to click a "Distracting Beach Babes" video on their Facebook Walls. The Wall message reads:

"this is hilarious! lol :P :P :P Distracting Beach Babes [HQ] Length: 5:32".

If you see this video on Facebook today, do not click the link: Doing so, and downloading a linked file, will result in malware being installed on your computer.

If you see the video on your wall, remove it. If you've clicked the video, meanwhile, run a virus and adware scan on your computer. And of course, be more careful about clicking suspicious-looking links in future.
