LinkScanner Drop Zone

The AVG LinkScanner Drop Zone lets you make sure individual web pages you are about to visit are safe.

Concerned about a possible phony link? Just copy the URL (web site address) and drop it into the box below. LinkScanner will examine the web page in real time to see whether it’s hiding any suspicious downloads. Even innocent websites can contain hidden ’drive-by downloads’.

Use the LinkScanner Drop Zone to inspect:

  • Links forwarded by friends
  • URLs displayed by search results
  • Links containing odd characters
  • Any site you’ve never visited before

The LinkScanner Drop Zone is part of the LinkScanner technology included in AVG Internet Security 8.5 —comprehensive protection against online threats.

LinkScanner provides the most timely, precise and reliable pro-active safe surf and search too, because it only looks at the pages that matter —the ones you are about to visit.

Today’s fastest-growing dangers on the Internet are transient threats that appear on one or more web pages for very short periods of time – anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks. This is the LinkScanner difference – other safe-surf solutions report on the safety of a site the last time they looked at it – which could be months ago

LinkScanner technology stops threats before they get onto your PC by inspecting web pages in real time before you open them. In addition to blocking dangerous websites while you’re surfing, LinkScanner verifies the safety of web links delivered by Google, Yahoo, and MSN searches, delivering a safety verdict on all search results with an easy-to-read safety rating.
