I just downloaded WOT (A firefox add on) to make sure I don't catch anything from a bad site. My question is is the Facebook virus real? And how do I stop it? Should I visit the site anymore? Thank you very much!!

Yes there are viruses on Facebook. There are viruses everywhere so you need to be alert.

Lately messages have been going around Facebook depicting a link to YouTube and requiring you to download an update. DON'T DO IT! The update is actually a virus that will be implanted in your computer.
What antivirus do you have? If your current antivirus is not a paid up subscription you should dump it and install the free Avast

Also try the free winpatrol 2010

It's a small program that will sit in your systray and warn you if something tries to make changes to your system.
