To help improve the security of their users, Facebook has teamed up with McAfee to give every one of the 350 million members free access to McAfee Internet Security for 6 months, after which users can pay a discounted rate to continue enjoying McAfee. This new team comes up after McAfee announced that Facebook and Twitter would be huge targets for malware this year.
Facebook has also integrated McAfee security into their website. If your Facebook account is compromised, they will temporarily deactivate your account an online scan will activate to rid your computer of viruses, after which you can restore your account and return to normal. To start getting protected with your free copy of McAfee, visit their Facebook page and go to the Protect Your PC tab.
