Protect Your Social Media Accounts too!

ESET has released beta version of ESET Social Media Scanner that protects users in social media, even when they are not logged in. The app can check not only your profile but your friends ‘walls for potentially dangerous links. If an infection is found, you and your friends will be notified by email and can take immediate action.

ESET Social Media Scanner is an application independent from ESET antivirus products that is designed to protect users from malicious content distributed through social networks. The ESET Social Media Scanner monitors new social media content (for example, wall postings containing links or media on Facebook) and looks for malicious code.

ESET social media scanner works primarily by monitoring user’s personal social media accounts. However, it can also be used to test the safety of content posted to the friends’ accounts. When malicious code is discovered by the ESET social media scanner, user is alerted by a message from the scanner or by email. Additionally, the ESET Social Media Scanner can be configured to call out malicious content by automatically posting a comment that warns user and his friend list to avoid media that has been found to contain malicious code.

You do not need to own ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus license to download and use the ESET Social Media Scanner. The ESET Social Media Scanner is also available on the Facebook App Center and the ESET Facebook Fan Page. In case if one has an ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus installed, he can access the download page for this scanner by opening the main program window of your ESET product and clicking the ESET Social Media Scanner link.

For privacy concerned users, many social networks require you to authorize the use of any app with your profile. Facebook apps require you to renew this user rights confirmation 60 days after an app is installed. You must grant the ESET Social Media Scanner permission to Post on your behalf, Access messages in your inbox and Access posts from your News Feed for the application to function properly.
