Free anti-scam protection for Twitter

Keep your friends close and your enemy closer. Recognizing that the friendlier you are, the more you may be preyed upon by opportunistic attackers, Bitdefender invented the safego safe-net concept for both Facebook and Twitter.
Bitdefender Safego is a free tool designed to scan links posted on a user’s social network accounts and protect against spam, scams and other e-threats, while also keeping users aware of personal information exposure. The safe-net concept is based on a simple idea: the more friends are protected with safego, the safer your network is. And of course, you need your friends net on Facebook and Twitter to be safe.
The same way as the Facebook app,  users first authorize the application to access their Twitter accounts, after which Bitdefender safego starts scanning content posted on the users’ stream.
This is how the interface of this app looks (I like the geeky bird that seems to be keeping an eye on all the tweets).



Safego..
  • checks unknown users before you follow them,
  • checks the accounts of people you’re following
  • scans direct messages for spam, suspicious links and high jacking attempts
Threats are ranked trough a color code, by their severity as red, yellow, grey or green  in the notification area. There is also an option where users can warn a friend if safego finds his account has been compromised.
So far, Safego looks like a valuable free app to protect your Twitter network and get rid of the spam bots and “get more followers, click here” tweets.
