ALERT FOR FACEBOOK USERS
There may be an internal spybot hidden on your facebook page. To check and remove it if you have it Go to "Settings" and select "application settings", change the dropdown box to "added to profile". If you see one in there called "un named app" delete it... Its the internal spybot.
I had it and removed it quickly.
Thanks,
Camstal

Re: ALERT FOR FACEBOOK USERS
Any details on what this app was doing?
You do realise nearly all the quizzes and apps gather data on you??
How is this one different?
http://www.facebook.com/apps/applicatio ... 4232425072 Take the ACLU's quiz and see what info is available to app developers about you, your friends and your friends friends.

Re: ALERT FOR FACEBOOK USERS
I wouldn't panic too much...
If you read down towards the end of this page, the Facebook developers are deprecating the "Boxes" app, which appears to be causing this broken app to appear:

I'm guessing someone saw it and wondered how many people they could get to tell other people that its a virus.

Seems this was less dangerous than any 'what kind of breakfast cereal does you dog resemble the most' type quiz.
