I'm on Facebook about once a day -- not quite an addict but still a regular user. Thanks to BitDefender's new safego app, you can now ensure your Facebook profile is as safe as possible.
-----------------------------------------
Personal security is an important issue whether locking the doors to your home, relying on your car’s security system to deter intruders, or ensuring you computer’s antivirus protection is up to date. With all of the recent news about Facebook privacy, it is even important to safeguard your social network from prying eyes and e-threats.
BitDefender is looking to protect your Facebook account by creating a robust application that will protect users from prying eyes and e-threats while also allowing you to safely access shared pictures, videos, and files. safego is designed to curb threats to personal privacy, spam attacks, and malware distribution campaigns that have been found to occur through this popular social networking platform.
How does it work?
Installing safego provides:
- Privacy protection- You’ll be warned when you should modify your Facebook privacy settings so that personal information isn’t exposed.
- Automatic scanning- Just press the “scan now” button to get a snapshot of yourFacebook security status.
- 24/7 protection- Your account is protected even when you’re not logged into Facebook.
