Another assault using rogue Facebook requests strike consumer PCs Saturday in a sensible replicate of last weekend's huge assault, security researchers said.

Like the previous assault, today's scam uses a sex-oriented video as bait, said, an Australian investigator who is working for Websense Security.

The scam is extend throughout Facebook messages advertize "Distracting Beach Babes" videos that comprise a link to the hateful applications, Runald wrote on his company's blog early Saturday.

Users who press on the link are asked to allow the application to access their profiles, and let it send messages to friends and post it on their walls. Once approved, the application instructs users to download an updated version of FLV Player, a accepted free Windows media player, to sight the video.
