I ran into this “dislike” app for Facebook - http://i.imgur.com/sK6cV.jpg – is it legitimate or a virus?

June 12, 2012As far as I’m concerned, anything that purports to add or take away stuff from the design of the site, while not always malicious – is bound to cause problems.
Hell, whenever Facebook itself changes something, it seems to knacker something up along the way – so what hope do other developers have?!?!

June 12, 2012Could be a virus or a scam. But it’s not legitimate !
Although thousands of users want a dislike button, but It’s not official by Facebook, if it was, then it would automatically come on your facebook page, and not require you to install an app

June 13, 2012Not sure if it’s a virus, but it’s certainly not official. Best rule for Facebook apps?

June 13, 2012Considering that Facebook has not announced a dislike feature on their website, nor integrated any form of disliking, the app seems to be 3rd party.

June 13, 2012If it was legitimate it wouldn’t be advertised as an ‘app’ – at the very least it would be a setting you turn on in your preferences.

June 13, 2012those app are I believe useless, because only you will see whatever you dislike…unless the other also installed the exact same app… which is rarely the case.
So I wouldn’t recomend taking it

June 13, 2012You ignore it and don’t look for any such apps until Facebook supports it officially.If it’s a legitimate one,it’ll also list the number of permissions it requires to work properly.

June 15, 2012I’ve seen that pop up in my news stream, so I’m guessing it will post to your wall without permission, or bug you to share it to your stream. Also, as Tanguy Djokovic pointed out, it’ll only share your dislikes to other people who use the app. I’d stay away from it personally.
