Facebook Application Or Spam?

Recently I have been seeing and getting tons of notification of "Find Who Will Be Your Valentine In 2014 @ xyz.com" on Facebook. Its look something like this:

Find Who Will Be Your Valentine In 2014 @ ==>

Well this is nothing more than a shitty spam and it will post on group you joined, your wall and friend's wall without your acknowledgement. These types of application may lead to account compromise. So better have an eye on what you giving permissions to these 3rd party application. 

How to prevent From these types of application?

  •  First of all, always have an eye on what permission you giving to that particular application and only give it if you trust that application. Some trusted Facebook applications are Twitter, Intel and many more. 

Note: Application having name like "Microsoft" doesn't always means that the application belongs to Microsoft. Like this one 
Find Who Will Be Your Valentine In 2014 @ xyz.com


  • Always click on "Skip" button, when it asks for "Post on you behalf" until and unless its a trusted Facebook application.

So what I do now? I already given permission!

Don't panic, just go under account section and then App Tab from there remove that application.
