This isn't actually a virus. It is a simple hacking technique in which a hacker posts a link and tricks you into clicking it. Once you clikc it, they present you with a webpage that looks like a facebook login. If you login to it, you are giving your username and password to the hacker. This is NOT a virus. This is a common issue on social networks, so please be very careful when clicking links. If you ever click a link on facebook and are asked to log back in, check the URL bar and makesure the address says facebook.com before logging in.
