Hope you got it removed, Apple!  And retained all your data. . .

My sister got it from Facebook, and fortunately, $50.00 later, her local computer place got rid of it and saved all her data--

These creeps should be put in jail, instead of giving high paying jobs in Govenment computer security!!

I know the apps on Facebook are fun, but if they require you to "allow access to your email contacts" -- I would avoid it like the plague!  The very first time I used one (to play a game), the email address I joined Facebook with was instantly hacked, with spam sent out to every single contact of mine.

Besides not using any more apps, the best advice I got was to change all my passwords (to my email addresses and to Facebook) and to USE DIFFERENT PASSWORDS for each thing I needed a password for!  I know that's a basic rule of internet security, but for a long time I didn't have any problems, and it was so much easier to just remember a single password.  But I was really asking for trouble and very lucky I didn't get into worse trouble than I did!  So... just passing on that good advice, use a different password wherever you need a password -- I have to write them all down, but it has stopped the hacking...

Good luck, Apple!

it's taken care of.. 60 bucks (and another computer problem was fixed so money well spent).

what a bunch of carp.  I was stupid.. so glad to hear from my cousin who in fact is a news anchor.. the video link said - you're on the news... how unlikely is that?

- just worried that all my 'friends' would get it too.  fortunately (I hope) they're messages were not believable from me.
