Hello,

I would like to know if there is any method to check if some link is dangerous or not before opening it ?

Regards,

Yes, there are quite a few.

I personaly use Dr.Web's LinkChecker. It's really easy to install since it's a plug-in for your Web browser. It'll add an option when right-clicking a link on the Web to scan it before opening it.

You can also paste the link's URL in Norton Safe Web.

And, of course, there's WOT. It's especially useful when clicking on links in a Google search.

OK. Thank you.
Dr.Web's LinkChecker seems to be the most comfortable for using.
