Dr.Web® Anti-virus Link Checker for Firefox (0.8 - 2.0) and Mozilla (1.7 - 1.8)

Why should I check links?
Dr.Web Anti-virus link checker will tell you if a page you want to visit or a file you want to download contains:

* Mass-mailing worms * E-mail viruses * Peer-to-peer viruses * Internet worms * File viruses * Trojans * Stealth viruses* Polymorphic viruses * Bodiless viruses * Macro viruses * MS Office viruses * Script viruses * Spyware * Spybots * Password stealers * Paid Dialers * Adware * Riskware* Hacktools * Backdoors * Keyloggers* Joke programs * Malicious scripts * Other malware*

How does it work?
With the help of the Dr.Web Anti-virus link checker for Mozilla\Firefox, you can check for viruses and various malicious programs on any Internet page you visit, or any file on the Internet before you download by the latest version of the Dr.Web Anti-virus with the hottest add-ons to the virus database!

To scan a link or a file, you do not need to install the Dr.Web antivirus onto your computer, nor download the file you want to open or save — the scanning for viruses is done on the servers of the Global updating system of the Dr.Web antivirus. Depending on the size of the checked file, the scanning will be done in several seconds. The file size limit is 12 MB!

And then you can open the page or download the file and never fear of a virus attack.
