    Starting at the end of August, McAfee will be making it a little safer to share your photos on the social network. The security company is launching a product called Social Protection, which lets you control who can see your photos on the site and prevents people from downloading those pictures to view elsewhere.

    There's something wrong with my face...

      Interesting.  I wonder how they're going to do that. /ravi

        Hardware overlays maybe? That doesn't even really stop you from taking a screenshot, if you really want to, but at least it makes it slightly harder than usual.

          McAfee's AV is not exactly gold standard material so anything they do to photos will hardly place them on top of the pile either. I think the problems will become prominent when a lot of people start to use it. And who's to say they won't benefit from it by routing your photos to another agency that has some other purpose in mind? When I see McAfee's name mentioned anywhere it's seldom for good. I don't trust or respect their products. I'll pass thanks. :)

              I have McAfee on my company PC and I can confirm that it can stop you copying photos. In fact, it can stop you doing anything at all, except for basking in the heat generated by the CPU as it hogs your machine for hours and hours.
