AdrianCJY.com: The only known Anti Virus associated with Facebook is McAfee. Don’t install any apps claiming they are anti virus for your facebook. It might be another scareware. McAfee’s anti virus needed to be downloaded and is also installed in Facebook server. Not on apps like this.
Facebook takes security seriously and tonight the company is increasing it even more by providing free anti-virus software to all Facebook users. It appears to be a joint promotion with McAffee, who requires you to become a fan in order to download the 6-month subscription. It’s important to note that this is only for PC users (yes, Mac users are fortunate enough to have no need for anti-virus software). This is not the first time McAfee has done a partnership with a large internet company.
At AOL, users were able to download free versions of the McAfee software. The purpose is to get users to convert to paying customers after their 6-month subscription has ended. It’s a standard promotional model and it’s one that worked extremely well for AOL as well. In contrast to AOL though, who charged a monthly fee at the time for using the service, Facebook is completely free.
If you want to get a free copy of the software (because you have an insecure PC that’s running Windows), you can head over to the McAfee fan page and get a copy now.
there are so many antivirus around
non of us, event he IT professionals can tell
which are the best products…
anyway, it’s a little weird if we relate it with facebook…
but the offer time limit is kinda short too…
very nicely said agnes.. hope everyone is as aware as us.. yeap none of any IT pros can tell which is the best though. I would say different anti virus suits different requirements. And the facebook anti virus , if it is genuine, they will never request user to install as apps.. maybe facebook shud do more monitoring before approving apps
Yupe, hope everyone is aware of all these antivirus products. I agree that facebook sometimes do not approve the apps through the pick and scan. Just hope that one day facebook will not be a victim of having those worms and virus stuff…
