Security experts warn of facebook virus:

The new virus eats up all of your time while you play useless games that mean nothing, chat with people you haven't seen in 20 years (for a reason), and uses your personal information to display highly personalized ads.

It's estimated that 900 million computers have been infected with the virus and the number keeps growing. The only solution is throwing your computer into an industrial shredder and running the other way as fast as you can.
