Why does it say my protection status is low on Facebook ?

[me]

What does that mean and how can I fix it to make the protection higher ?

It comes up on the very right hand side where friends photos, rsvp's and adds usually come up. I haven't clicked on the low protection thing in case it's a virus.

You're smart for not clicking on it. I think it's an ad or a link to something more sinister.
