Now, I am of course in bed and not sending messages at this time. Also, I only ever browse FB from my iPhone or my Mac OS X machine. I'm also not the type to fall for phishing emails or give my credentials to any dodgy Apps.

The only non-standard apps are FarmVille, Bejeweled, YouTube and Weddingbook. I trust the first three but I expect I'd get in trouble with the missus if I delete the last one! Will investigate it further though. I don't think the apps have permission to send messages on my behalf though - only to post to the wall.
