I don't think Norton can resolve this issue – I think Facebook will have to eventually remove the app from their servers.

Hi Felish – you simply remove it from your applications:

Hold your mouse over "Settings" in the upper right hand (make sure you are logged into Facebook)

While holding your mouse over "Settings", a drop down menu will appear

Click "Applications Settings"

Scroll through your list of apps and find the "Facebook Photo" or maybe it's called "Photo App" – anyway, it will be an app in the list that references your photos.

Then click the "x" that is to the far right and that will remove the app from your Facebook profile.

That's it – you are now clean from the malicious app!

Then, look at the list of applications. If you see Photo Comments listed, click the X to its right and confirm you want to remove it. You can also click the drop-down next to "show:" and filter apps that way, just to see what all you've authorized. It pays to look there every so often and make sure everything's kosher. Then, clear your browser's cookies. Make sure your antivirus software is up-to-date, too.

I suspect it is also spam/virus. Darn these people!
