This is a useful addition to help users, especially those that seem happy to download anything without a second thought.

To help people who use Facebook to proactively combat malware and make it easier to find and use the right technology for protecting their devices, we announced partnerships in May with anti-malware leaders F-Secure and Trend Micro.
