Facebookagent has been trending on Google recently, mainly because it bills itself as software that enables you to view people's private profiles on Facebook but it looks more like Malware and is likely not worth the risk.

Facebookagent asks you to download the application. But a word of warning, DON'T download Facebookagent unless you know what you are doing.

If you go to Facebookagent you will notice it is selling itself with images of scantily clad women (should raise some suspicions). Second, the "About" page for Facebookagent is dangerously sketchy and thin. Third, the "Help" page is similarly dodgy.

One blogger downloaded the application and provides screenshots, concluding yes it is Malware. So consider this a PSA of sorts avoid Facebookagent.
