Scanner Includes Enhanced Detection Capabilities and New User Friendly Design
ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive protection for more than two decades, today released an all new version of ESET Social Media Scanner for Facebook and Twitter. Offering a completely re-designed graphic user interface (GUI) and improved detection capabilities, the scanner is used by more than 150,000 users and has detected more than 28,000 malicious links on Facebook and 10,000 threatening links on Twitter to date.
“Our internal research shows that Facebook users are three times more likely to stumble across suspicious links than Twitter users," said Damir Seferovic, ESET consumer product manager. “This is mainly due to the platform’s large user base, credit card information it stores, and amount of shared, private data it often contains. By utilizing ESET Social Media Scanner, consumers can use Facebook and Twitter with confidence, knowing that they are protected against attacks and their personal information is safe.”
The new version of ESET Social Media Scanner includes improved detection of harmful links and an intuitive design, making it easy to use across mobile platforms. The automatic scan function runs regularly in the background and provides users with real-time protection against malicious content.
