[WARNING] Sexiest Video Application Hit Facebook Users Wall

Posted by : on May 15, 2010 – 4:16 pm7 Comments

Candid Video is something weird we are noticing recently on facebook users wall posts. This is an application from K-Multimedia. After you land on application’s page they will ask you a permission to access your personal information, friend lists etc.If u click ‘don’t allow’ then it will ask you second time,  then you are forced to click “allow” else u can’t move ahead.. its the same for third permission.. u click allow.. and that’s it.. it pulls all your info from friend list and posts update to your friends.

Check these screenshots in sequence

Application Page

Second Request for Permission

Third Request for Permission

Here it goes….

Want to get the rid out of this? Don’t allow anyone to post on your wall. Simply disable the permission from your Privacy settings.

Goto your Account Settings—>Privacy Settings—>Personal Information and Posts and uncheck the box “Allow friends to post on my wall”

    Suyash, just don't allow anyone to post on your wall for sometime. That's the only way to be away from this shi*t!

    Yes Zaheer, I did it.. Still I am happy with your work. People are there who are using networking sites in good way. I got information about this virus from you first. And happy to be a part of “networkedblogs” ( Orkut Heroes ). :)
