1800 Facebook profiles have been affected by a recent malware according to a blog entry by Graham Cluley.

Sophos notes that this new worm is supposedly spreading through messages. Their article included a URL of what the address of the malware look like.

Fraser Howard, the author of the blog entry at Sophos, notes that although it looks like it is a google link, it does not actually go to a google page. When users clicks on the URL of the message, they will receive a malware with a filename of picture_dl.exe. It is a Trojan downloader and it will download another Trojan if a user runs the file.
