Facebook adds 3rd antivirus engine to protect users' data

Facebook Inc is adding a third antivirus engine to its service to filter malware content and protect users' data.

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

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.
