6.2. Link Scanner

LinkScanner protects you from the increasing number of ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ threats on the

web. These threats can be hidden on any type of website, from governments to big, well-known

brands to small businesses, and they rarely stick around on those sites for more than 24 hours.

LinkScanner protects you by analyzing the web pages behind all the links on any web page you’re

viewing and making sure they’re safe at the only time that matters – when you’re about to click that

link.

LinkScanner Supports the following search engines: Google Search, Yahoo Search, Bing Search.

LinkScanner is not intended for server platforms protection!

The LinkScanner technology consists of the following main features:

Surf-Shield scans the contents of the websites you are visiting, regardless of the websites

address.

Online Shield works as a real-time protection when surfing the Internet. It scans the

contents of visited web pages, and possible files included in them, even before these are

displayed in your web browser or downloaded to your computer. Online Shield detects

viruses and spyware contained in the page you are about to visit and stops the download

instantly so that no threats ever get to your computer.

AVG Accelerator allows smoother online video playback and makes additional downloads

easier. When the video-acceleration process is in progress, you will be notified via the

system tray pop-up window.
