Check a Website for Malware Infections [Tips]

The most likely cause of a computer to become infected with malware is a visit to an infected website. We visit websites seen on social media sites, sent to us via email, linked on other websites, found on search engines, etc. Even websites that look benign to the end user can in the background be running malicious scripts.

If your current anti-virus doesn’t have a component built in to scan links automatically for you, consider using the AVG Online Web Page Scanner. The AVG Online Web Page Scanner also can check links using shortened urls.

AVG also offers LinkScanner as a free software download to Windows users.
