Here is a list of 5 free apps to block malicious content on Facebook. There are a lot of links or URL’s on Facebook that can destroy our profile or system, if we open them. Since there are so many URL shortener services like ShadyURL, it is difficult to determine the destination of link. Hence, you might end up on a site that contains malware, virus, or some offensive content and destroy your profile. To protect you from these malicious content and to keep your Facebook profile safe, there are applications that scan the URL.
Such 5 apps mentioned in this article are BitDefender Safego, MyPageKeeper, Defensio, Eset Social Media Scanner, and sharesafe.
BitDefender Safego:
The first app that you can use in order to block malicious content on Facebook is BitDefender Safego. This is a very simple to use app and completely free. You just have to install it and run it on your profile. The app scans your profile for malicious links and lets you know about them. The next time you receive any malicious URL that contains any offensive or spiked content, the app automatically informs you about it. You just have to allow it to access all your data.
