The August 2011 outbreak of ‘Who is Viewing Your Profile’ definitely intended to harvest cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses, or to persuade Facebook users to subscribe to a cellphone subscription.
Another version may be starting up again (unconfirmed)- I have noticed a surge in search engine terms for info on this app in the past 2 weeks.
If any reader knows of a this app being active in the last 2 weeks, I would appreciate being informed of the app URL

Your email and other details will be kept private.
Thanks, Mike

This surely isn’t the only message that gets posted by a “virus” supposedly from friends – I’ve had a couple inviting me to look at a video. The use of language in the post and the type of video that’s involved have made it clear to me that they’re not really from the people who apparently posted them as their status.

Is “virus” really the correct terminology to use here? Personally I would of gone with “Rogue Application”
