Facebook is the
biggest social networking website on which users spend more time than
their actual life. Recently, Facebook claimed to have more than 901
million registered users on the website. This is the reason why it is
the best place for scammers. There are various type of clickjacking
scams which we see daily on Facebook. It is true that Facebook is trying
to make the social networking platform secure. But most of the time it
was failed to protect users.
Facebook had
also partnered with Web Of Trust to know about malicious URLs and block
those links on Facebook. This improved some security but scammers also
made a new way to break this.
Now Company has
come with a new strong way with the partnership of five major security
software vendors, Microsoft, McAfee, TrendMicro, Sophos and Symantec.
Now the malicious ULR list will contains all malicious links identified
by these security software vendors.
Along with this
URL blocking, Facebook is also offering antivirus softwares. As we know
that an infected computer may also spread some scams on Facebook
profile open in a browser. So Facebook wants users to be safe. Look at
the new Facebook Antivirus Marketplace. The Facebook Antivirus Marketplace offers
people to download six-month licenses to full versions of antivirus
software at no charge. This is the result of the new partnership of
Facebook with these security giants.
