8.11. Link Scanner
8.11.1. Link Scanner Principles
The
LinkScanner
component provides protection against websites, that are designed
to install malware into your computer via the web browser or its plugins. The
LinkScanner
technology consists of two features,
AVG Search-Shield
and
AVG
Active Surf-Shield
:
·
AVG Search Shield
contains list of websites (
URL addresses
) which are known
to be dangerous. When searching with Google, Yahoo!, WebHledani, Yandex,
Baidu, Bing, AOL, AltaVista, EarthLink, Ask, Seznam, eBay, Twitter, Digg, or
SlashDot, all results of the search are checked according to this list and a
verdict icon is shown (
for Yahoo! search results only "exploited website"
verdict icons are shown
).
·
AVG Active Surf-Shield
scans the contents of the websites you are visiting,
regardless of the websites address. Even if some website is not detected by
AVG Search Shield
(
e.g. when a new malicious website is created, or when a
previously clean website now contains some malware
), it will be detected and
blocked by
AVG Active Surf-Shield
once you try to visit it.
Note:
AVG Link Scanner is not intended for server platforms!
