All
the Facebook fanatics have news to be happy; the giant social network announced
the Antivirus Marketplace yesterday and has sent the invite to the players like
the Microsoft corporation, McAfee, TrendMicro, Sophos, and Symantec to the
Facebook security family.
“Starting today, we will be incorporating the
combined intelligence of McAfee, Microsoft, TrendMicro, Sophos, and Symantec to
Facebook's existing database of malicious URLs, and offering a wide selection
of anti-virus software to our users. This program will help us provide even
better protections to those using Facebook, no matter where they are on the web,” Facebook’s official page
revealed.
The
Facebook users will be able to download the full versions of the antivirus and
that too without being charged a single penny. They will be able to download
the licenses of any of the aforementioned antivirus for six months. This will
further strengthen the Facebook’s already existing URL blacklisting system which
at the present moment checks billions and billions of clicks per day.
And
that is not all folks, the said companies will be regularly contributing to the
security Blog of Facebook and will be providing important materials all the
time.
Folks,
the Facebook Antivirus Marketplace will be available for both the Windows and
Mac OS.
Long live the legacy of
Facebook and its corporate collaborations!Like the article,you might also like to read:
