Kaspersky Lab is ready to protect your Facebook account!

Facebook attracts a lot of cyber-criminals. Kaspersky Lab partnered with Facebook to protect you from these cyber-criminals.

Kaspersky Malware Scan for Facebook

Why would cyber-criminals want to control your Facebook account? At the very least, they could “like” weird things and promote questionable goods and services on your behalf. However, Facebook is well aware of this common criminal scheme and collaborates with us to protect innocent users from account infection.

Kaspersky Malware Scan for Facebook

Of course, Facebook itself is never the source of malicious software. But one can get infected in many ways. For instance, Facebook is a major target for phishers: 1 in 5 phishing scams target Facebook notifications. For this reason, one should be vigilant when receiving e-mails from this network–they might be fake. Additionally, there are lots of Trojans targeting Facebook users as well.

But forewarned is forearmed. If you happen to see some ‘likes’ that you never clicked or statuses that you never posted, or just suspect that your PC or smartphone might be infected with malware, you can scan your device with a good security solution before the threat of a Facebook account suspension. There is a wide range of free Kaspersky Lab products on free.kaspersky.com.
