Response has helped McAfee design and launch their presence on Facebook which has been all the buzz around the web today! McAfee and Facebook have officially announced their partnership in an effort to make the favorite social networking site more secure.

McAfee and Facebook recently stated that they "jointly created security solutions that include McAfee security software, a custom scanning and repair tool, and consumer friendly education materials" all of which are going to be made available to Facebooks millions of users. "In total, this is a first-of-its-kind security offering that represents a major milestone in the fight to secure the internet and reduce global cybercrime" the companies said.
