I just started receiving messages from my friends on Facebook, and they all seem to be pretty much the same format.
I'm guessing this is a new worm, or at least an old one that's found a new way of getting around.
I was wondering if there's any known info about it.
I'm not sure if there's any serious danger regarding these links, and I ran one of them through http://linkscanner.explabs.com and got this:
Congratulations! LinkScanner Online did not find any exploits.
Here are a few examples of messages I've received:

They may not be that dangerous, but I'm 100% sure these weren't intentionally sent by my friends.
