Facebook Spambots in your chat

|
Lately, there has been a lot of people that got into trouble with the facebook spambots where you will see your friends sending the following messages to you: (DO NOT OPEN THE LINK BELOW THAT I'M SHOWING YOU GUYS, IT'S JUST FOR SAMPLE PURPOSES AND IT STILL WORKS FOR SPAMBOT TO INVADE YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!)

OMG: This girl killed Herself after her father posted this message on her wall: bit.ly/hiht3w
Haha, I am going to look like a Sharpie in 20 years! See what you will of look like here: bit.ly/ek8UcF
hey, i just made a photoshop of you, check it out :P: bit.ly/fInyHj
Or you will see something like this in your chat section of your facebook...
Obviously, this is a spam message that is being circulated around Facebook and no, it's not a VIRUS. If you are to see this message, just ignore it and tell them to refer to my blog in order to remove this problem. Anyhow, if you are the one that is sending this messages to your own friends, follow this procedure of mine and the problem will be solved in a minute, or so...

Step 1:
Go into offline mode for your chat. This is to stop the spamming from starting temporarily while you proceed to remove the spambot. Not really necessary but I feel it's needed to just in case.

Step 2:
Go to your accounts settings (on the top right of your facebook) and select privacy settings
Step 3:
Select edit your settings on the "apps and website". Refer to the screenshot below

Step 4:
Click on edit settings on the "apps you use"
Step 5:
Click remove app on logalysi.co.cc

And there you go, the spambot will not have access on your chat anymore. Please take note that logalysi.co.cc could be only one of the spambots as there are tonnes of them everyday. I would recommend you to remove those recently allowed apps that you have "unknowingly" agree to allow them to access to your facebook profile. The web above will most probably be used to spam this message:

hey, i just made a photoshop of you, check it out :P: bit.ly/fInyHj

For the rest, I'm not sure it will be registered under which application name in Facebook but if the apps has the setting to access your facebook chat, most probably it's the spambot. Or if you really have no idea which one is the spambot, my last solution (not recommended) will be removing all the apps that you have allowed for you accounts all these years. You will not lose anything by doing so but you will need to allow access again the next time you want to use your Facebook applications again such as Farmville and etc etc.
