Facebook adds third antivirus engine to safeguard against malware

In an attempt to filter malware content and protect users' data, Facebook is reportedly adding a third antivirus engine to its service, a report said.

Technology from Eset, based in Slovakia, will be added to the antivirus cache that already includes F-Secure and Trend Micro, reported PC World.

Facebook can detect malware on its servers if the device is infected and warn users to run an antivirus scan. The scan results can then be seen and disabled without logging out of Facebook, the report said.
