internet safety

Hacking and cyber crime is very popular these days. Every noob hacker out there is sending malware through websites and innocent looking URLs. No matter what antivirus you have, it can't protect you with every kind of threats. Its your own duty to protect your computer from viruses, Trojan horses and malwares. Make sure every time you visit a new site, you check its authority and make sure its not a scam. Do you want to know how to check whether a website is safe or not before visiting it? There are several ways of checking a website. Lets discuss what are these ways.


Through Link Scanners 

Link scanners are scanners which can process URLs to check whether it is safe for browsing or not. One of the best Link Scanners on the internet is URLVoid. Go ahead click on the link.
URLVoid uses third party services and scans the URL of your choice. Just go to URLVoid and enter the URL of your choice and hit "Scan now".


Sucuri SiteCheck

Many scammers use URL shortening services like Google Url Shortner (goo.gl), bitly (bit.ly) and many other to hide their actual URL and URLVoid sometime fails to scan these URLs perfectly. So what to do know? Use Sucuri SiteCheck, this is one of the best free site check service. It will follow the shortened URL and scan the actual site for you. It also uses third party services like Norton and  Phish-tank and yeah don't worry it also scans the original (not - shortened) URLs.
