These viruses usually disguise themselves as harmless links to sites, pictures and come with a compelling harmless title like "Geez, Is this really your picture?" or "Why did you do this to me?" or the like. These titles make you want to click on them and download the virus on to your system and propagate to those in your friends list.
Once affected, these viruses either provide a backdoor for the hacker to use your computer resources, or download more AdWares and viruses to crash your computer totally. You know that you are affected when:
1. Your computer slows down really bad.
2. Friends complain of you sending messages when you actually have not.
3. Computer shows heavy memory and hard disk usage even when it is idle.
4. Ads on antiSpyware and other anti viruses show up frequently as you browse the internet normally.
