Norton Now scans facebook WALL as well
Facebook has become a top social site on the web. More and more people spend a lot of time on Facebook, and this gives cybercriminals the opportunity to use Facebook to propagate malware. This feature lets users scan their feed for malicious URLs using Norton Safe Web. You get a report of the scan, which you can choose to share on your Facebook Wall.
Now this is good to know about what is happening around the world , but wonder how much of my internet bandwidth it is eating, it probably wont make much difference to me , but possibly would make a difference to some people in third world or still developing countries where internet bandwidth can be quite expensive.
