Similar to Norton safe web Bitdefender launched an application for Facebook called ‘BitDefender Safe Go ‘. Although the app is in beta stage but still better than Norton Safe Web in Graphical Interface and enhancing your Facebook account Privacy.
The main intention of this app is it scans your Facebook Home page/ wall page to prevent potentially Harmful links that spread viruses or malware that may infect your friends or friends of friends computers. Also the app suggest the loop holes in your profile settings that may reveal your private information.
Using BitDefender Safego :

Now you will be Forwarded to the main BitDefender Safego app page, the top right box provides statistics of scanned items, infected items and links in your facebook account, click ‘double check’ to run a scan.

My view :
As the app still in beta stage, we cannot nail any issues with the app. But I find the at peak traffic scanning and loading of the app page is slow. I hope the final version of app will be useful with improvements and all its ‘Coming Soon’ features implemented
