Facebook has partnered with McAfee to improve the social network’s security measures. The arrangement will have McAfee remotely clean up Facebook subscribers’ PCs if the social networking site detects that the computer is infected. These subscribers will also see an ad for a six-month free subscription to McAfee’s Internet Security Suite software. Both companies will codevelop educational materials that will be posted on Facebook’s site for its subscribers. McAfee created a custom scanning and repair tool for Facebook that will be made available to the social networking site’s users.
