    I removed this from my Facebook apps & Privacy settings over a week ago after clicking on it as it was generating Spam on my wall. It seems to reinvent itself by duplicating posts of different comps - for eg Boots, M&S, Iceland etc, all of which I didn't enter but it said I did. I think it then goes on to post them to all your friends as well. hth

    Hmm, weird. I got it through a very nice, helpful site/forum, they normally check what they send. :/
