AVG LinkScanner

AVG LinkScanner by Grisoft, Inc.

SnapFiles descripton: alerts you of malicioius websites AVG LinkScanner integrates with your browser and alerts you of search engine results that link to sites using exploits, phishing scams, hoaxes or malicious software installations. The program works with search results from popular search engines including Google, Yahoo, Bing and others, and displays a color coded icon next to each search results to indicate whether a site contains any active threats. There are not details provided that further explain or elaborate the threats except for a generic risk category that is used to classify the site. We found it a little disturbing that AVG LinkScanner changes your browser setting by default, without explicit user permission, and redirects any HTTP error pages to a sponsored OpenDNS search page - a technique that many would consider browser hijacking, even though you can later turn off this `helpful feature` from the settings dialog.
