Facebook strengthens security with AntiVirus Marketplace, a new portal to protect the social network’s users. Members encouraged to download anti-malware programs which they can use at no cost for six months. Facebook also plans to incorporate the various security firms’ URL blacklists into its own anti-spam efforts. The company says the current blacklist limits spam to just four percent of all content posted on Facebook. Facebook’s security push comes as social networks become an increasingly popular target for spammers and hackers.
