Koobface fail need assistance immediately

Ultimate fail, I probably know a lot more about viruses compared to my friends, which I do, but I got caught with koobface, I would think that Facebook would actually check their applications before allowing them to be posted, I mean seriously. Right now I'm scanning for viruses but malwarebytes (fully up to date) has not seemed to update it, so I'm guessing its a variant. Although I did it on a quick scan. Also not quite sure, but can Koobface keylog passwords or find saved passwords? Any help would be appreciative

Edit: I system restored, I should be fine now I assume

Koobface does not spread through applications and it is highly unlikely you have an infection.[/quote]

I understand that, one of my resorts though since none of my viruses detected it, however my account was in fact spreading links, and when the applications lead you to a download it does spread, I really wasn't thinking, right now everything seems fine though.
