Why use LinkScanner Online?

Cybercriminals use "lure" sites to attract web users to sites they have invisibly infected with exploit code. This exploit code is then used to infect users' PCs with drive-by downloads of spyware, rootkits, and other malware.

  • Just because you click a link doesn't mean you'll land on the site you thought you would
  • Just because a site looks innocent doesn't mean the underlying code is harmless
  • Just because a search engine serves up a listing doesn't mean you can trust it
