Facebook users can lean on a new app to help them fight spam and malware.
Designed by a team of students at the University of California at Riverside,
MyPageKeeper is a free Facebook app that continually monitors wall posts and
news feeds for malicious content. If the app suspects that any content may contain spam or malware, it alerts you and gives you the ability to remove it.
Beyond protecting your own Facebook account, it can also protect the accounts of friends who may get infected by viruses or hit by spam just by viewing your page.
