Just issuing a warning here, particularly to my O family FB friends :)

There are rumours going around that the 'Facebook Fancheck' which seems popular right now (As I keep seeing them on my wall) contains a virus.

Here are a couple of articles

It is just a rumour, I heard of this yesterday, and its suppose to infect your computer 24-48hrs after you installed it. I am no techie I dont know how that would work! I havent installed it and wont be, but I think if you do have it for your own safety remove the application :)
