Safego is a Facebook application developed by Bitdefender to keep your social networking account safe.
Its role is to scan the links you receive from your Facebook friends and monitor your account privacy settings.
These are the main features available for your Facebook account:

When it detects a post or a comment which is a spam, a phishing or a malware, you will receive a warning message.
