Alert: Facebook Hoax = Virus

If you get an email saying your password is reset for Facebook DELETE the EMAIL. There's a virus alert out on this as it will download malware that steals passwords only if you open the email, so delete it as soon as you see it.

I got that same one too. Facebook has been sending so many viruses lately but EarthLink removes them all. You can still read the email and even download the virus too but you have to be crazy to want to do that. I lost trust in Facebook.
