I uused a new app called “Rosen Verschenken”, but no matter how many times I sent it, it never disappeared, leading me to believe it’s either a “rogue app” or a virus. It also won’t let me delete it from my apps. Now what?

there is an app called rosen verschenken and I’ve tried it before, but no matter how many times I may send the one I have, it remains on my list, leading me to believe it’s a “rogue app” or even a virus. What do you think?

hi again, just one final update – not sure if someone here addressed Facebook, but as of today i was able to go in under the “Never Allowed to Post” section, find all of the remaining problem apps, including the one with the malicious links and there was now a “Profile” link next to them which wasn’t there before; it allowed me to go directly to the app’s page, which previously couldn’t be done without “allowing” the app again, so this was extremely helpful

my question at this point is, why are they still there? i found it interesting that some of them which had no fans or users previously, now had hundreds of users and some fans, so i’m wondering if those links took me originally to a page that was created to look like “Send Your Friends a Cup of Coffee”(Sunrise, Good Morning, etc…)

couldn’t find any contact information for you Ric, so i posted this here… if you like you can email me as that is my correct email address, maybe you can make more sense of these applications, the fact that they take you off Facebook and try to install “anti-spyware” on you is worrisome but i have no idea what they are really doing… perhaps you can convince Facebook to look at these and remove them? since FB doesn’t seem to be responding to others’ reports… thanks! :)
