| Aug 6, 2011 at 12:03 | comment | added | genesis | @Piskvor: you're wrong. If you have offline access, changing details will restrict application any access to your account again | |

| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:43 | comment | added | Thomas Ward | Considering that Facebook is the likely source, and that all apps do have a client-end interface, that could theoretically have reloaded the malware onto the system. Hence why the scan should be one anyways. | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:42 | comment | added | Goez | well, the computer was wiped. Ofcourse the risk is still there that the malware is re-installed but still... | |

| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:35 | comment | added | Thomas Ward | even then... you need to make sure those apps didnt put malicious code on the computer... if there's malicious code on the computer, you still run the risk. Hence why in my answer, I recommended removing apps access and scanning their system with a malware scanner, to make sure their system isnt horridly infected (likelihood is low, but i have seen it happen before). | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:25 | comment | added | Goez | indeed, therefore I suggested removing unneeded app permissions and afterwards changing password | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:17 | comment | added | Piskvor left the building | A malicious FB app would be my first guess too, as changing authentication details won't affect app permissions. | |
