LinkScanner is part of AVG Anti-Virus (also in the free edition), which has now been released as a separate, free product for those who do not use more comprehensive AVG security solutions. LinkScanner checks the website under a given link or Internet address entered in the browser and analyses whether the website conceals a threat. If so, AVG LinkScanner prevents the user from downloading the page.
AVG LinkScanner also checks search results in Google, Yahoo! and MSN. In addition, the program scans all bookmarks and links contained in messages sent by instant messengers or e-mails before the user decides to open them.
LinkScanner, like AVG AntiVirus Free Edition, can be used free of charge for commercial applications.
