AVG LinkScanner is a program that protects the Internet user's PC from threats while browsing the web.
AVG LinkScanner features
Internet as a global world network is saturated with all sorts of malicious software modules that are just waiting for a chance to get on your home computer. The advantage of this software product is that it works in real-time mode and does not leave unchecked any link, which seeks to navigate the World Wide Web. In the case where a user attempts to visit a host that has been assessed by AVG LinkScanner as unsafe, a protection function is activated, shielding the user from any unpleasant consequences in the case of a visit to that address. AVG LinkScanner protects the user's PC while browsing or searching for web pages.
Two components provide the main protection features:
- Active Surf-Shield protects directly the surfing process in all popular browsers(Internet Explorer, Opera browser, Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox);
- AVG LinkScanner specializes in protecting searches, giving security ratings in search results if used by default (unsafe nodes are marked red and safe nodes are marked green).
Benefits of AVG LinkScanner
- Clears security ratings for standard search results and contextual ads;
- Does not conflict with any popular antivirus programs;
- Pages rather than entire sites are analyzed, which means that sites are never fully blocked if they contain one or more infected pages;
- The pages are only scanned if the user tries to visit them;
- Installation is easy and does not take much time. The resources of the operating system are very low during operation.
