webviruscheck Extension: Analyze the Safety of Web Pages
The webviruscheck Extension is a helpful tool for analyzing the safety of web pages. This Chrome extension supports the use of the webviruscheck web service, allowing users to check if a link or selected URL leads to a dangerous site. By simply right-clicking on a link and selecting "check the link with webviruscheck," users can quickly find out if the destination is safe or not. The results are displayed in a new tab, providing users with valuable information about potential threats.
The webviruscheck Extension offers two convenient ways to use it. Users can either right-click on a link and select the option to check its safety, or they can select a character string and perform the same safety check. This extension is equipped with URL scanning, virus scanning, browser crash checking, and URL shortening checking features. However, it is important to note that false positives may occur due to the use of regular expressions for source checking.
