You can be 100% certain that each and every app that says "See who views your profile!" or "stalker tracker" or anything else like that is virus-laden junk. These apps would like you to cough up your Facebook password, or they might install the ability to spam your friends via your Facebook wall. Haven't you seen a friend's profile automatically posting an advert like, "Hi friend, this store is giving free laptops," or the friend's profile will be posting pornographic or unwanted content to his Wall or the Wall of others?
Again: Be extremely wary of any service or app that claims to show you who's been viewing your Facebook profile. This functionality violates Facebook's privacy rules. If you've fallen prey to a purported stalker app (or any other type of Facebook malware), be sure to check out Facebook's instructions for revoking app access to your account.
Well, let me give you a clue as to how to revoke the app access:
Point your PC BROWSER to http://www.facebook.com
Click the downward-facing triangle immediately after "Home" at the upper right corner.
Select "Account Settings"
Click "Apps" under "General"
Click the "x" button against the concerned application
Click "Remove" in the resultant pop-up box
Wait a second and then click "OK" in a box that will show up (if you didn't click "ok", the application wouldn't be removed)
