Publisher's Description
From AVG Technologies USA:
The most dangerous page on the web may be the one you are about to click on. AVG LinkScanner provides an advanced layer of security against fast-moving, invisible web threats, and hacked web sites. It verifies the safety of web pages you visit, and of links returned from web searches (Google, Yahoo! and MSN), so you know how safe/unsafe a page is at the time you attempt to click on it. It works alongside most current consumer AV and security suite products, delivering an additional layer of security they do not provide. Highlights: Real-time scanning of links you click on, so you can be sure you are protected from the latest hacked or exploited websites. Emphasis on analysis of each web page you visit instead of the web site. Automatic upgrades whenever the threat intelligence network finds a new threat. AVG LinkScanner is available as a free download for single computer, home non-commercial use.

"Stay Away From this product."
Version: AVG LinkScanner Free Edition 2013 2013.0.2677
Pros
Worked ok for me for awhile BUT ? Soon started hating it.
Cons
Kept wanting to restart my OS Win 7 64 bit twice a day for computer virus updates. I was skeptical about this product and when I uninstalled it I told AVG about it in the uninstall survey.
I dosen't completly uninstall all it's files you need to go back and manually do that at the root folder it installed itself into. I don't ever delete much. Instead I use a privacy shedder from Spy Bot Search and DestroySummary
In summary don't use t his piece of worthless crap. I use Zone alarm to protect me from most everything and it's reliablity far surpasses AVG's software. Never liked emm and never will so STAY away from this product it's not worth the DL and all it's headaches.
