The link takes you to a fake YouTube site. The site then asks you to update flash, and when you do, THAT is when the virus is installed. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/youtube.asp HOWEVER, "youtu.be" is 100% legit. It's a shortened URL 'alias' for "youtube.com" and owned by YouTube/Google. ALWAYS look at the link. Kevin's link contains the main URL of "youtube.com" and the "youtu.be" is part of the data string. If you type "youtu.be" into your browser, it redirects to "www.youtube.com".
