Facebook Widget Installs Zango Spyware

BaCa writes "A malicious Facebook Widget actively spreading on the social networking site ultimately prompts users to install the infamous "Zango" adware/spyware. The tremendous success and lightning fast expansion of Facebook empowered the social networking giant with an impressive user base. Needless to say, in a digital world where web traffic equals money, such a user base attracts spammers, virus/spyware seeders, and other ethic-less online marketers like honey would attract flies."

Am I the only person left who doesn't know what facebook is?

From reading the press it seems to be some sort of web site where you upload all your private stuff for other people to see. I've never seen it though.
