Have you encountered some strange links on your Facebook wall posted by your friends, and when you click it, it goes to a malicious site? It seems that such links are getting very common on Facebook. Sometimes, it is not even sent out by your friends as your friends’ Facebook account might be compromised. There is a free solution now 🙂 .

Today, a small group of us met up with Symantec Regional Product Manager, David Hall, for an insightful event on Norton products and innovation.

One of them is this Facebook application that you can get it free on Facebook. What it does is that it helps you to analyze your links and gather information about them. If there is problem with them, you can know it immmediately.
