Facebook offers free anti-malware to infected users

On Facebook we often come across strange links with attractive images, which if we click on then "infect" some virus and our profile automatically publishes corresponding links. This is just one type of malware that we can "infect" on Facebook, so the most popular Social Network decided to take measures against malwares.

Through various checks, Facebook will be able to find out if a user is infected with malware and will then offer them one of two anti-malware programs for free , F-Secure Online Scanner and Trend Micro HouseCall .

The program will automatically install itself on the computer, perform the necessary scanning and cleaning, and then, after notifying the user via Facebook notification, it will be automatically deleted. For now, the two programs can only be used by Windows users.
