God damn if I went and clicked it.
So, after reporting it as spam, changing my password and running a virus scan, running an ad-aware, posting a status to warn my friends (three of which just got caught goddammit) is there anything else I should do?

    Usually, they just get you to copy some javascript into your address bar, sending the message on to more people. I don't know if there are any Facebook worms that can steal your password or damage your computer; but if you google the contents of the message, I'm sure you can find information on its effects and any necessary precautions.

    i just recently did the same thing (even made a thread about it, google it). I just changed my PW, rebooted, cleared my cache, and didn't notice anything wrong.
