Save yourself from embarrassment on Facebook

Recently, there has been a lot of post and tags connecting you with some very explicit content. Your friend will see this post/app and they will also see that you have tagged your friends on Facebook in such post. The dangerous part of this whole thing is that you might not know that a malicious app is using your name and Facebook account to expand their content. These content generally contains explicit sexual photo which is not appropriate for work or not appropriate in general to display on public websites. Even though these apps are deleted by Facebook as soon as possible, but if you become the victim of this, it will be too late for you as damage will have been done. So, to prevent yourself from embarrassment on Facebook from these malicious posts, you can follow these steps:
