Making Malware cleanup easier
You'll
find a recommendation to install software to detect and clean up malware in
almost any security guide. Although a single product isn't sufficient to defend
against all modern security threats, the general recommendation persists
because the technology remains effective in blocking categories of known
threats and cleaning up malware infections if they find their way onto your
computer. Since resolving a malware problem is a little bit different each
time, we're committed to working with our partners to give people on Facebook
the help they need in keeping their information secure.
Our
goal is to make it easier for people to find and use the right technology to
better protect their devices. We've worked with F-Secure and Trend Micro to
incorporate free anti-malware software downloads directly into our existing
abuse detection and prevention systems. These are the same systems that help us
block malicious links and bad sites from among the trillions of clicks that
take place every day on Facebook.
