Facebook enable dislike button wall post scam

Another facebook scam:

Users will see a wall post, supposedly from a friend.

The wall post says:

Facebook now has a dislike button! Click ‘Enable Dislike Button’ to turn on the new feature!”

facebook enable dislike button wall post

This is quite clever and looks exactly like it might be a genuine add-on, the “Enable Dislike Button” link appears exactly where the “Share” button appears on regular posts.

If you click on the link, the same wall post will be posted to all your friends’ walls, meaning that more and more people will be tricked the same way.

This is a scam. No “Dislike” button will be added anywhere.

Many Facebook users have been suggesting for quite a while now that facebook have a “Dislike” button so this scam is probably going to fool quite a few people people.

Please let everyone know about this “enable dislike button” scam and ensure your friends understand that they should be cautious of posts like this put on their walls, even from if they come from their own friends!

If you, or anyone you know, has this message posted on their wall, you can either hide it or mark it as spam. If you mark it as spam it helps Facebook to hopefully become aware of and remove this rogue application.

Facebook UnNamed App is not a spybot!

People are following the usual activity of updating their facebook status to inform others of scams etc but again by trying to warn others they are in fact doing exactly what the “scammers” want.

Here’s the latest, an “UnNamed App Internal SpyBot Hoax”…

ALERT >>>>> Has your facebook been running slow lately? 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 an internal spybot. Pass it on. about a minute ago….i checked and it was on mine.

it is NOT a virus or spyware, it is your “Boxes” tab, and Facebook is going to be getting rid of it soon, you can remove it yourself from your edit applications list if you want… not sure if Facebook will be replacing it with something else yet.

“Due to a small bug, an application listed as ‘Unnamed App’ appeared in some users’ Applications Settings,” spokeswoman Malorie Lucich said in an e-mail to CNN. “No user accounts or data were lost or damaged.”

Please also be aware that when searching for this on Google I ended up at a page which wil tell you that your pc needs a scan (this is malware/spyware). So please be careful, it seems that whoever started this facebook “status” is just trying to get people googling and direct you to this harmful page.

Change New Facebook News Feed to give it the old facebook look

Share this with your friends on Facebook

If, like me, you don’t like the new style Facebook Home / News feed why not change it to display only status updates, like the old facebook!
(this also get’s rid of those annoying “Bored Friend took the blahblahblah quiz” posts etc)

here is how to get the old facebook look:…

When logged into facebook Click “Home”

Look to the top left menu and click on More…

facebook-news-feed-1

Then drag “Status Updates” to the top…

facebook-news-feed-2

After dragging to top, click on it. It’s now your default facebook newsfeed, just like the old facebook.

Simples!
