AVG's LinkScanner Drop Zone Provides Real-time Protection Against Online Threats

The AVG LinkScanner Drop Zone - part of the LinkScanner technology in AVG's Anti-Virus and Internet Security products - is an online application that lets you ensure that individual web pages you are about to visit are safe.

If you are a voracious web surfer, and you often encounter links to various pages across the internet, then often you do want to ensure the safety-level of web pages beforehand.

The 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.

LinkScanner examines the web page in real time to see whether it’s hiding any suspicious downloads. To inspect the threat level that a web page exposes you to, just submit the URL of the web page to the AVG LinkScanner Drop Zone web site using the text box below or you can use the form at AVG's own Online Web Page Scanner web page.
