Nothing, unless you're a tard. Really, it's only a "facebook worm" because that's how it's distributed. It could be (and probably has been) sent around via email long before facebook.
Short version:
Infected person sends a facebook message saying "hey look at my video here lulz" to victim. As far as I can guess this is automated, much like email viruses.
Victim, wanting to see the video, clicks the random link, which takes them to some random page that tells them they need to install some software to watch the video. The victim, being retarded and not following EVERY ANTI-VIRUS RECOMMENDATION EVER, installs the software, which is a virus.
In summary - if you're not a total fucking idiot and know ANYTHING about viruses and how to avoid them, you'll be just fine.
If on the other hand, you're a tard that has never been told not to download random software, you get what you deserve. BECAUSE YOU'RE A TARD.
Seriously, I have so much hate for people who are idiotic and get viruses, then blame the website that simply carried the message. Maybe if you had realized that Facebook has it's own in-page video player (along with youtube and google videos) you would have realized it was a virus and closed the window! This problem could also be easily avoided with any up to date anti-virus software that was created, you know, within the past 10 years.

I'm and old fart who started working on cars in high school and have been doing it ever since... I grew up and graduated in the 80's so I never learned anything about computers... All I know is just from playing around with them on the internet hitting buttons and stuff, and even I know (from learning the hard way lol) not to click on stuff like that. I got my 1st computer to buy/sell stuff on feebay about 10 years ago. Then discovered internet porn and that was the end of that computer!!! I got this one virus that put this naked chick right on the desktop, so I dragged it into the trash and emptied it. Well, about a week or 2 later, it came back to the desktop!!! So after a couple of times throwing it away I called my brother who knows a little about this stuff, and he got rid of it, for about a month or 2, then IT CAME BACK AGAIN!!! That computer stopped working shortly after.
I have never got 1 virus since I started using Mac
Thanks Twoods it helped a friend of mine who got an awful fright when their computer locked up and thanks to you i was able to come galloping to the rescue ta da....

At the very least, I kinda want to self-sig this.

Eh, while most people who get hit by these things simply don't know any better, it really should be common sense nowadays that if you get some generic message telling you to install some software, it's probably a bad idea.
I was wondering why you send me pictures at random (next time tell me what you want in the message or link the thread). I suck with photoshop, but I can pass them onto a kid I know who might be able to do it. I'll get em back to you when I can.
