Facebook And McAfee Join Hands

Giant social networking website Facebook, on Tuesday announced that it will be providing its user base with a free of cost 6 month trial of McAfee security software suite which has been released as Internet Security Suite. With the effort, the website is looking to offer better protection to its users. The major player of the computer security world, McAfee is offering an independent online tool that would look to scan and remove any cyber attacks from a Facebook user's computer. As confirmed by the social networking site, the scanner would be offered free of charge to users, and if the users purchase the software after 6 months of trial, Facebook would not be taking any share in the revenue. As of now, only the English version of the scanner is available, but soon users of other languages will be able to make use of it as well. "Facebook is very serious about security and has made significant efforts to protect its users and service by investing in dedicated teams and sophisticated systems, and this partnership with McAfee furthers that mission. We believe our partnership will make a real difference in the battle to secure the Internet", said McAfee Consumer, Mobile and Small Business executive VP, GM Todd Gebhart.
