These days surfing website is becoming risky as you don’t know which site is safe to surf and which not. I had listed few tools
in my previous post which warn you not to visit risky sites.
Now there is another tool from AVG LinkScanner it checks each web page for risk and stop’s you to go to that page. It is free software which runs on both windows 32 and 64 bit OS. AVG LinkScanner runs two-fold approach which helps you better safety online.
If you are not using AVG LinkScanner or any other online safety tool you can face lot of problems like:
95% of online threats are web-based and cannot be stopped with anti-virus software alone.
AVG sees 100,000-150,000 threats a day.
Online criminals set up their own websites or poison legitimate ones (even just single web pages).
60% of all pages hosting web threats are poisoned for less than a day, making the threats difficult to catch unless they are viewed on the actual page in real-time. This makes AVG LinkScanner essential protection.
One in eight web users will unknowingly come across a poisoned page at least once a month.
AVG LinkScanner works on two-fold approach:
Search-Shield scans search results and places a safety rating next to each link, so you know where it’s safe to click.
Active Surf-Shield scans the page behind any link you click on or any web address you type into your browser. If the page is poisoned, it stops you from opening it. (This happens so quickly that you shouldn’t even notice it.)
Now days it is getting important to have web safety software which can help you to surf without any worry.
