Avoid poisoned sites when you're searching the Web

LinkScanner Lite integrates with major search engines to check search results for a variety of online threats before you click. When you search with LinkScanner Lite on guard, you get advance warning of:

  • Exploits
  • Hacked pages
  • Phishing and fraud scams
  • Malicious lure sites

A color-coded icon appears alongside each listing so you can steer clear of active threats.


Integrates with search engines
- scans results automatically.
 

LinkScanner Lite inspects each search result as it is returned to your browser. One of four color-coded icons will appear next to each result. LinkScanner Lite provides the most accurate analysis of the safety of Web search listings.

With over 50 million active Web sites, many of which change and update their content from hour to hour, only a real-time solution can provide the analysis you need to detect and identify poisoned web pages and malicious sites when searching online.

Simply visiting a bad, hacked Web page can expose your machine. Vulnerabilities and exploits like WMF, VML, CreateText Range and setSlice have, and continue to, permit hackers to spread rootkits and open backdoors on computers around the world.

Don't let your PC become a zombie

Exploit Prevention Labs’ safe-searching technology currently flags more than 2% of web search results as malicious/fraudulent and to be avoided. Just ten Web searches can expose your machine to upwards of 100 Web sites, so 2% can quickly translate to a significant number. Multiply by the number of searches you do over a week or a month, and your potential for interaction with dangerous sites is high. Considering that exposure to a single malicious site can turn your PC into a bot, spam generator or slow performance and steal login information, securing your Web search activities is an important function.

Inspect any hyperlink with one click    

LinkScanner Lite also allows you to inspect any hyperlink on the Web, at any time, simply by right-clicking on it. LinkScanner Lite will perform its analysis and return a verdict. Scan pages before you visit with no risk to your PC!
