so i just bought my lovely Macbook Pro about a month
ago and i love it like my baby, so you can imagine my
dismay to find out that i was dumb enough to fall for that
facebook virus that's floating around - you know, where
someone on your buddylist IMs you asking if they can
post a photo of you on facebook with a link and upon
clicking the link you inadvertently send it to your
buddylist. i haven't picked up on anything weird yet,
nothing has happened, but i suspected a virus when i
received the message so i googled it and lo and behold,
it's a virus. i'm new to OS X, up until i'd gotten my
Macbook, i'd been on Windows for about twelve years. so.
my question is, what do i do? what program or fixes or
what have you are out there for mac? i'd like to nip this
thing before it actually does any noticable damage to my
poor baby macbook. thanks in advance!

Facebook does not effect Macs. If you are running Windows
on your Mac via BootCamp/Parallel it will effect it, but not
your Mac OS.
