Hackers use fake Facebook cancellation emails to deploy malware

Fake Facebook email messages trick unsuspecting users into installing a trojan by pretending to be an account cancellation request from Facebook.

If they choose not to do so, the application will keep nagging until the user agrees to the applet being installed.
