7.4. Link Scanner

7.4.1. Link Scanner Principles

LinkScanner cooperates with Internet Explorer and Firefox (1.5 and newer), and

consists of two features:

 AVG Active Surf-Shield prevents you from accidentally becoming infected by

drive-by downloads and other exploits, ensuring the web pages you visit are

safe at the only time that really matters - when you are about to click the

link.

 AVG Search Shield works with Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Baidu search

engines to deliver a real-time safety verdict on all search results, including

search ads, displaying an icon to show the safety rating for each site.
