Facebook privacy

A few days ago Yahoo has published a guide to help people in making the right settings on Facebook. That guide is a good place to learn about the bunch of settings needed to protect your Facebook profile from unwanted access.

However, today I found out of a great tool that does all the necessary checks for you and allows you to fix all the problems by simply clicking a button. The tool is available here. You don't need to be a guru to use it. Just copy a link into your bookmark bar, log in to Facebook and click the bookmar link. The rest is piece of cake.

I am just a bit worried about the extra stuff this tool might do. However they provide the source code on their website and many magazines seem to write well about the tool. But I am still wondering if the actual button does more than just fixing your privacy issues. If anyone has made a full test of the code (I just don't have time to do it now) please let me know.
