It looks like Facebook has finally gotten fed up with all the viruses and spam that is plaguing the social network and ensnaring and embarrassing its 350 million members.
Late Tuesday, the company announced a deal with McAfee, to give Facebook users a complimentary s...ix-...month subscription to McAfee’s Internet Security Suite. McAfee will become Facebook’s exclusive provider of consumer security software for one year.
Facebook will also begin using a McAfee tool to scan the computer of any user whose account gets compromised by malware.

There were 1.7 jobless people for each opening in December 2007, when the recession began.
