How to stop “Check-Your-Profile-…” post in 5 simple steps?

Have you been seeing this frequently in the last weeks of 2014 and thought it’s a spam? (Yes, it is.) Whether it was posted on your own timeline or your friend’s, you probably wish to stop seeing it, don’t you? It’s just simple! I tested it with two of my cousins and succeeded (so far ) – thanks for their assistance .

I’ll start by telling the cause as I see it must be and this is optional for you to read, then you’ll find the super solution listed.

Cause: Without making much analysis to this, you probably clicked on that link from someone else’s post before. Maybe you have forgotten it. However, you’re here to kick these posts out of your profile.

The following steps will remove all such previous posts from your timeline and should stop them from appearing again.

1. Go to “Settings”.
   
   
2. Move to “Apps” tab.
3. Look for the app that posts your unneeded posts. In our case, “Microsoft” with the four coloured squares icon.
4. Click on it to open its permissions dialog. Click the “Remove App” link.
5. Mark the checkbox; to remove previous “Check your profile visitors” posts from your profile in one click. Then, click “Remove”.

From now on, no “Check your profile visitors” nor “Check your lovers” posts on your profile. If you see it useful, why not tell your friends whose profile share such spam about these steps?

Have a good day
