I have firm faith that one had to visit a link sent by others
to enter the computer’s antivirus alert if one uses internet regularly. What
would have happened but if you had not installed an antivirus?
Facebook developer team have researched about it and found
an important step to protect its users. The company works together with
Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec and Trend Micro to build up a database of
dangerous links and have made a decision that any links which will be posted on
Facebook will be filtered for user safety.
Moreover, Facebook has recently offered a shop just for
antivirus. All users connect to the Internet should have one installed on their
computer or laptop, but for those not there now AV Marketplace. No, Facebook does
not sell antivirus programs to its users at this moment. The site offers social
networking but anyone can download an antivirus that is free for a period of
six months. If the user is satisfied, then he can purchase from the
manufacturer.
Facebook has offered by Norton antivirus Virus 2012, Trend
Micro Titanium Security Essentials, Microsoft Security Essentials and McAfee
Internet Security 2012. For Mac owners there are two antivirus applications
from Trend Micro and Sophos. In my point of view, I recommend all users
accessing Facebook or not to install an antivirus, be it free or purchased.
