Youtube Video Explaining this Scam
The “Sexiest Video Ever” scam made the rounds on Facebook during May of 2010. This video shows how the application what happens when you click on the link and how the malicious application is installed to eventually download an adware to your PC.
Here’s how this virus runs: Source
1) After clicking on the link, you will be prompted to the application named F.B. HD Video Player – http://apps.facebook.com/hghh_rtrt/.
2) You will then display the message – Thanks for the confirmation! You can continue to the video now.
3) After clicking continue, you will be taken to page where it claims to be the video. The video will not open and displays the message – “Your FLV Player seems to be out of date. Please update your FLV Player in order to proceed. Please click the Continue button now and wait a few seconds.”
4)Then it asks to download the file – “FLVDirect.exe“.
