Facebook connects users to free antivirus software

Facebook helps users get their malware infected computers cleaned up.



Facebook is now directing users who think their computer might be infected to sites where they can get free antivirus software.
The Malware Checkpoint for Facebook sends people either to sign up for Microsoft Security Essentials or McAfee Scan and Repair. Mac users are referred to an Apple Security Updates site.
Facebook already notifies users when the site detects a possible malware infection on an individual machine, and provides these users free antivirus software to clean up the infection. The social network has now opened up its anti-malware campaign to all users in order to them them proactively protect themselveshttp://asset2.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/07/10/Screen_shot_2012-07-10_at_12.11.25_PM.png
