Kaspersky Malware Scan joins other anti-malware offerings from ESET, F-Secure and Trend Micro.
Trevor Pottinger, a software engineer on Facebook’s threat infrastructure team, offered more details in a note on the Facebook Security page:
For the past year, we’ve been working with anti-malware companies like ESET, F-Secure and Trend Micro to offer free malware cleanup software to people who use Facebook. Thanks to the collaboration with these companies, in the past three months, we have helped clean up more than 2 million people’s computers that we detected were infected with malware when they connected to Facebook.
