Some guy with too much spare time, yet a genius when it comes to evil plots, has recently developed a new app on Facebook called “Activate Account.” When a user adds this app, it spams out the user’s friends with messages saying that their Facebook account will be closed if they do not add this application within one week.
Now first off, we should ALL not be stupid enough to realize Facebook sends out global messages using a little section at the top of the main page, not notifications. Next off… I can’t believe I even have to point this out but:
We all do stupid things in our life-time, but this is just flat-out retarded.
To anyone who’s added this, you might wanna remove the application, block it, and reset your password.

So is the internet.

I just saw this app post something in my notifications. To be fair it’s quite a funny prank from the writer’s point of view. On the bright side, FB has now removed the app

Actually… Facebook hasn’t removed it. I just got those messages for the first time today. Which is when I IMMEDIATELY googled it because I wanted to know what was up before I clicked on it.

“Best of the Best” is another app that is doing the same thing. Do not add this app.

to remove an app
click applications in the lower left corner then edit applications
find the app you want to remove in the list then click the X on the right side of the line and verify

Thanks for the information……but, please spare us the insensitive remarks and sarcastic use of the words “stupid” and “retarded”…Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to throw around hurtful words like that?

To BLOCK an application: Click Applications in the lower left corner, then Edit applications. Find the application you’re looking for in the list and click on PROFILE, which will take you to the app’s profile. Once there you click on “block application” under the default picture, and then on confirmation box when that comes up. Done!!

Nette, after the app is added blocking it is not what these people need. They need to remove it if they added it. Remove the app by going to “Settings” at the upper right, choose “Application Settings”, find “Activate” and click the little ‘X’ to remove it. Then, change you facebook password.
