New LinkScanner Technology
The patent pending technology of LinkScanner offers safe web browsing in real-time and protects against drive-by downloads and other potential threats from poisoned web pages.
Competition products such as McAfee SiteAdvisor are unable to provide real-time protection because they rely on static database of suspect sites that can be days or weeks old.
Active Surf-Shield - ”the safe surf" – provides real-time definitive analysis of websites and blocks exploits
Search-Shield - ” the safe search“ - Works with major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and displays an icon next to each link on the search engine with a safety rating. Dangerous websites are blocked.
