Facebook would help removing malware from system.

Facebook recently launched a feature that allows user to lock their FB aascount and perform virus, malware check if user suspects that their computer are infected.

The motive is to stop the spam and malicious messages that have been sent from a compromised accounts by malware. The infected accounts will be temporarily locked down and the account user would be asked to go through a multi-step recovery process that would involves downloading and running a malware scanner - McAfee Scan and Repair.

The malware checkpoint will allow FB users to also act proactively to identify a threatt.
