There are reports of a worm spreading on Facebook, hijacking wall posts and threatening to compromise users' computer security.
The worm is similar to one that infected accounts on microblogging site Twitter earlier this week, according to reports on the US-based social media blog Mashable.
Users can be vulnerable if they click a link in their news feed which appears to be from a friend.
The text before the link reads: "lmao! i cant stop laughing at you in this pic, when did you do this?"
Mashable's Ben Parr recommends people do not click the link.
Parr says people who have already clicked it should "immediately change [their] password, delete all of the malware posts, and post a warning to not visit the link in question".
