Is there a virus on facebook?

It's not really a virus but an invitation to download a virus. Called "Koobface", it says you need to install flash player. If you do so, it actually downloads and installs the virus. So, there is no virus simply from going to facebook. Just as with most viruses, you need to allow an installation to be infected. Simply don't install anything from facebook and you will be safe.
