BitDefender announces beta launch of safego application
November 2010
IT in Manufacturing
Goes beyond Facebook’s built-in privacy controls to alert users of personal information leaks, safeguard against e-threats, and only access safe content.
BitDefender announced the beta launch of safego - an application which uses BitDefender’s sophisticated scanning technology to take the confusion out of a safe social networking experience. Designed to be used on various social networks, BitDefender safego is now being beta tested on Facebook.
Through a simple interface, the BitDefender safego application checks the user’s privacy levels and identifies personal information that is visible to strangers. It also scans the user’s wall, message inbox and comments for malicious links and compromised shared content like videos and pictures.
“It is clear that a large number of people do not understand how much personal information they are sharing with the world. The BitDefender safego app makes it easy to identify what is shared and make the necessary changes,” said Catalin Cosoi, head of the BitDefender Online Threats Lab. “Additionally, we have seen an increasing number of attacks targeted at the 500 million users of Facebook. Using our superior malware detection, the BitDefender safego app helps protect users from malicious links and other threats that spread through messages, wall posts and videos. ”
By installing the BitDefender safego app, users will receive:
* Privacy protection – users are warned when they should modify their Facebook privacy settings so personal information is not exposed.
* Automatic scanning –users simply press the 'scan now' button to get a snapshot of their Facebook security status.
* 24/7 protection – Facebook accounts are protected even when users are not logged in to Facebook.
* Protection for friends – users will have the ability to warn their friends about infected links in their Facebook accounts.
