Catching koobface - a typical scenario. From Wikipedia:
Koobface, an anagram of Facebook, is a computer worm that targets the users of the social networking websites Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Bebo, Friendster and Twitter. Koobface ultimately attempts, upon successful infection, to gather sensitive information from the victims such as credit card numbers. It was first detected in December 2008 and a more potent version appeared in March 2009.
Koobface spreads by delivering Facebook messages to people who are 'friends' of a Facebook user whose computer has already been infected. The messages contain innocuous subject headers like "Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street", "LOL", "My friend catched [sic] you on hidden cam", and "My home video :)", followed by a link. Upon receipt, the message directs the recipients to a third-party website, where they are prompted to download what is purported to be an update of the Adobe Flash player. If they download and execute the file, Koobface is able to infect their system. It can then commandeer the computer's search engine use and direct it to contaminated websites.

I just had to spend a load of cash on tech support to get koobface off my laptop. I don't remember when exactly I got it, but I will definitely be more careful in the future. I might just go ahead and delete my facebook.
