Facebook signs McAfee to create 'Facebook Antivirus'

Facebook has chosen McAfee to help protect its users. Facebook and McAfee have created a custom scanning repair toolset that will target Facebook's 350 milllion users.

As reported previously in our blog, Facebook needs all the anti-malware help it can get - Koobface has been spreading widely using Facebook and its now time for action!

Facebook will use a custom security tool developed by McAfee to clean users' computers when their accounts become infected.

Whilst an innovative concept, we believe there are better choices already available to combat the growing trend in Social Media Malware.
