LinkScanner from AVG

AVG on April 20-2009 has officially unveiled LinkScanner as a FREE standalone product.
LinkScanner scans the Web URL before accessing it, deeming either safe or
infected, protecting the PC against Web threats. The product is compatible
with other competing software and is now available for download on the AVG
site. A LinkScanner demo can be found at http://linkscanner.avg.com.

To validate LinkScanner’s effectiveness, AVG has also issued a report today
comparing LinkScanner to products such as McAfee’s SiteAdvisor. For example,
over 60% of infected sites are on the Web for 24 hours or less. Of those
33,000 sites that LinkScanner found unsafe, SiteAdvisor only found that
1.26% were infected.
