AVGLinkScanner: Real-Time Web Page Scanning For Threats

A while ago we reviewed a web page scanning tool which could scan suspicious links for threats, the downside it scanned only one link at a time. Today we came across a browser add-on called AVGLinkScanner which automatically scans all links on every page you visit and marks them with colored markers: Green for safe, Yellow for caution and Red for unsafe.
