Based on the name, freddy73.exe looks like a typical variant of Koobface. I will not be surprised if freddy74.exe, freddy75.exe, freddy76.exe, freddy77.exe, freddy78.exe, freddy79.exe, freddy80.exe, freddy81.exe, freddy82.exe,
freddy83exe, freddy84.exe, freddy85.exe, freddy86.exe, freddy87.exe, freddy88.exe, freddy89.exe, etc shows up in the near future.

Do you have this on your system? Do you know how it installed?

i got it too. i got it whiletrying to open a video on facebook. it asked me to download a flash player...
guess it was a virus, since right after doing so, a captcha message kept appearing.
So you need to delete freddy73.exe from c:\windows and there's a captcha.dll in c:\programfiles
it's hidden
check "run" in your registry, the virus also write some stuff about it there
good luck

Yeah, the Koobface gang has updated the file to freddy74.exe. You can find more info on it here:

http://www.freefixer.com/library/file/44696/

If your AV does not detect or remove freddy74.exe yet, you can delete it manually with FreeFixer. Freddy74.exe should appear under "Registry Startups" and "Processes" in FreeFixer's scan result.
