ALERT: Spring Clean Your Facebook Account

Declutterring your Facebook account is not only good for organization, but it can potentially reduce your exposure to possible security risks. The more stuff you gather, the bigger the risk for malware and spam.

Each of us serves as the frontline defense for our own Facebook accounts. The counteroffensive to malware and spam consist of keeping track of friends and apps, ensuring your friends lists are organized and prioritized, and accepting friend requests from people you actually know, understanding it’s not a race to score the biggest number.

Tagging friends, status updates and un-friending are other options to clear the air; just don’t lose patience – it may take clean-up time now, but later you’ll appreciate your organizational efforts and simply keeping things in their place.
