Facebook in coordination with Trend Micro and F-Secure has incorporated a new security solution that helps detect malware and keep devices secure for Facebook users.

“Our goal is to make it easier for people to find and use the right technology to better protect their devices. We've worked with F-Secure and Trend Micro to incorporate free anti-malware software downloads directly into our existing abuse detection and prevention systems. These are the same systems that help us block malicious links and bad sites from among the trillions of clicks that take place every day on Facebook,” says Facebook in a post.

So here's how it works, when a user logs in from an infected device, a pop notification on the screen is displayed along with recommendation to use F-Secure's malware scanning and cleanup technology or HouseCall from Trend Micro.

Users have the option to skip the malware removal process and download recommendation scanner. But, users may be again prompted for download later in that case. That said, users can continue using the social network and other services while one downloads and runs the scanner. After the scan is complete, users receive a notification through Facebook along with results of the scan.
