McAfee app helps protect Facebook photos

Security solutions providerMcAfee has launched a new free application 'McAfee Social Protection' to help users protect their photos from being shared without their permission on social networking site Facebook.

Offered as a Facebook app together with a browser plug-in , the app lets users select which friends have access to their photos and makes pictures appear blurry to everyone else, McAfee said in a statement.

For selected friends, the photos will be displayed properly once those friends have installed the app, creating a second layer of protection , it added. Also friends, who have been granted access to view photos , will not be able to share, copy, print or take screenshots of them.
