The linked page does not contain threats but is somewhat suspicious (

The linked page contains active threats! For your own safety, you will not be

The linked page is not accessible, and so could not be scanned.

Hovering over an individual rating icon will display details about the particular link in

question. Information include additional details of the threat (if any), the IP address of

the link and when the page was scanned by AVG:
