Unfriend him/her. Block that person. And increase your security

As of right now there are no viruses I know of that could act like that, so I think you're safe.
That said, there are new kinds of viruses popping up all the time, so just keep an eye out for tech news if you're really concerned about keeping your PC virus-free.

As far as Facebook Profiles are concerned they can't get any kind of virus.
Facebook profiles don't show insecure content as they are kept very clean.
Apart from that no one is allowed to play with the structure of Facebook Profile structure or code so, they won't be able to inject any kind of code into the profiles.
But, if you click on links or flash files on the profile, that will take you to other page where you can get infected.
