Do you know that one in every eight web users will unknowingly come across a poisoned or dangerous web page at least once a month? And I am sure that many of you (even I) did visit at least one dangerous page, mostly without your intention.
These dangerous web pages contain malicious codes that may cause serious damage to your computer. Most of the time, we arrived at those pages from the search engines e.g. Google, Yahoo!. So how should you do so that you don’t get into those web pages anymore?
AVG LinkScanner is a free browser plugin for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It allows you to check and verify the safety of web pages behind any links that you click or any web address you type into your browser. If the page is unsafe or poisoned, AVG LinkScanner will stop you from opening it.
This tool also scans all the links returned from search results in search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN. It places a safety rating (or flag) next to each link, so you know whether a particular link is safe to click or else. Green flag indicate a link is safe to click through, while link that is unsafe will return red flag.
AVG LinkScanner works alongside most current consumer anti-virus and security suite products, delivering an additional layer of security they do not provide.
To ensure safe web surfing, AVG LinkScanner is the right security tool for you. This plugin is designed to work with Windows XP and Vista.
