Publisher's description
From AVG Technologies USA :LinkScanner Lite is a safe searching, safe browsing utility that provides real-time analysis and advice on Web site content and safety. Its site ratings are based on an inspection of any requested web page in its current state. This enables it to provide timely, accurate advice without relying on out-dated databases and introducing disastrous false positives. LinkScanner Lite detects a wide range of online threats including malicious content, phishing, social engineering and targeted software exploits. It automatically inspects all search results delivered by major search engines to advise you, before you click, which web sites are safe, dangerous and why. With LinkScanner Lite's QuickScan feature, you can verify any hyperlink by simply right-clicking on the link - great for browsing the web and for verifying links forwarded by friends, in blogs or other forums. LinkScanner Lite is free for personal use and is compatible with major anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall products.

Version: LinkScanner Lite 2.0.1.0037
"Best new app I've tried this year"
Pros: I just downloaded this product and I must say, it's pretty damn cool. It's crazy how much bad stuff is out on the web and you don't even realize it unless you're running a program that is smart enough to identify all the shady sites out there. I'm usually pretty conscientious of where I surf on the web, but I'm now finding that sites I thought we legit have some potential security concerns. The integration with google is cool too - I've never seen anything like it.
