    Well I just wanted to get the opinion of fellow techies (who are more in-the-know than I!).

    My housemate added this extensions (or app) to their facebook. But looking at the page it has access to EVERYTHING! So are you quite naive in adding this or does it look legit?

    http://en.lagsoft.biz/

    From the FB page,
    Request for permission
    lagSoft is requesting permission to do the following:

    The site doesn't say what it does, can't manage basic English, and from the looks of those terms wants you to be their spam proxy. Time to take the network cable away from the housemate.

    Thought so. After I read that out to her I think I scared her enough to remove it. What it's supposed to do is be a spy on anyone and everyone that looks at or comments on your FB page. When I loaded up the "official" site I couldn't find any "contact us" or "about" so that (and the terms) is what had me chin-strokin'. Cheers.
