It was rumored that the Faceook Fan Check application was a virus that steals the password and email of Facebook users who sign up for the app.http://www.softsailor.com/news/7199-facebook-fan-check-virus-already-infected-a-lot-of-users.htmlhttp://mashable.com/2009/09/07/facebook-fan-check-virus-hoax/ According to Mashable, the application is not necessary a virus, but hackers could benefit from the fear of the virus by offering 'solutions' to the alleged Facebook Fan Check Virus, by offering 'infected' programs to remove the (possibly) fake virus.http://mashable.com/2009/09/07/facebook-fan-check-virus-hoax/ On September 8, 2009, the makers of the Fan Check application put an end to the malware-infestation rumor saying, "FanCheck contains no malware."http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/171621/fancheck_developer_defends_app_says_its_not_malware.html
How It Works
The application claims to analyze the number of friends a user has then allows the creation of an RSS feed. When users try to use the app, a message saying that the app is down while new features are added is displayed. Then it asks users to become a fan of the app. When users become a fan it emails the users friends and the virus spreads.http://www.softsailor.com/news/7199-facebook-fan-check-virus-already-infected-a-lot-of-users.html-
