Zoomer on Facebook

If somebody has posted a status message on Facebook or sent you a message via chat inviting you to use Zoomer, we advise that you refrain from clicking the attached link (that redirects to the website piccatori.com). Installing the application prompted by these zoomer messages is also not a good idea.

What is Zoomer?
Zoomer describes itself as an application that can magnify news feed images in your Facebook by hovering the cursor over the image. Zoomer also claims to increase the speed of loading. Unfortunately,  zoomer is just another name variation of chatzum and can be aptly described as yet another spammy Facebook application that automates posting of zoomer marketing posts in your wall. It also spams your friends via chat. Once you have installed this app, you will likely be sending this message whenever you chat with your friends in Facebook:
