You’ll find nasty stuff stuff  on the net, and there’s no better solution than something equally nasty! Web security company Kaspersky Lab has introduced the “Krab Krawler”, an anti-nasty tool that can make your Twitter-hungry lifestyle a little bit safer.

Cool tool Krab Crawler looks at all posts that appears on Twitter. The posts are parsed for hyperlinks which, if stealthed, are analyzed as to origin. (Yes- even shortened URLs are recognized.) The destination URL is then checked for any nasty things, such as the Koobface virus, that might make your day less tweety.

According to developers, the software scans over 2 million posts per hour and ensures a healthier surfing experience for you. That’s one less nigerian scammer who’ll get his grubby hands on your credit card!

Krab Krawler synchronizes with Twitter’s proprietary ring system. With extra layers of protection between you and the bad guys, you can rest assured that your bank remains intact.

But do make sure you have a standard virus scanner running!
