i just got infected with this virus yesterday.....'malwarebytes' got rid of the Koobface worm, and 'GooredFix' got rid of the file/service 'fioo32' which is a trojan dropper.

And the fb admins have been notified but they haven't removed it yet…that's been two days ago.

This has seriously impacted a clients network that I maintain. An unsuspecting user clicked on some FaceBook message garbage and managed to infect most of his friends/co-workers. Love it!
