8.6.1. Link Scanner Principles
LinkScanner cooperates with Internet Explorer and Firefox (1.5 and newer), and
consists of two features: AVG Active Surf-Shield and AVG Search Shield.
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! and MSN 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.
Note: AVG Link Scanner is not intended for server platforms!
