Malicious web links is one of the problems that have brought negative publicity for Facebook. To help reducing this problem Facebook has teamed up with security company Websense. In near future, all web links published in Facebook will be checked to filter out malicious ones.
When user clicks a link in Facebook it will be sent to Websense for security classification. If the link is found to be malicious user will be given options to either access the link at one's own risk or return back to the previous screen.
More information can be read from Websense blog.
