The dangerous websites throughout the Internet can be:
· Malicious websites, ones that deliberately install malware on your computer,
· Hacked sites, which do just the same, only these are legitimate websites that have been compromised into infecting visitors,

Search-Shield
AVG LinkScanner cooperates with the most widely used web search engines (******, Yahoo! and Bing, former MSN) to evaluate the search results, and provide information on whether it is safe to proceed to the respective website or not.
Next to each hyperlink in the list of search results, a little icon is shown, and when you hover over the link, an information pop-up window is displayed.
Search-Shield supports web browsers Safari 1.3.x or higher, and Mozilla Firefox 3.x.
Please note that the search results are generated based on a blacklist (database of known malicious websites) and the evaluation itself cannot be configured.
