Is there a virus going around on Facebook?

I got a broadcast message from one of my friends on Facebook warning that there's a virus going around. The message states that the virus spreads by using your photos saying that you've been tagged then when you click on the link, it infects your computer and hacks your personal information like your banking and other accounts. I was just wondering if any of you have heard this and if it's true. Also, are there any other viruses going around on Facebook that we should be aware of?

    Yeah it's more of a glitch that got fixed by facebook. You get unnecessary tags.

    But there's no 'virus', you can be sure of that ;)

    Hope i helped

    Its a 'virus' yet no longer on the instant on the subject count number of facebook. be at liberty to get lower back on line and enable your 'pals' comprehend you weren't abducted in the time of the 6 hours you have been offline. (Linux=virus unfastened is BS. i'm confident you think of that of Mac too, huh?)
