AVG LinkScanner Coming To Mac

June 14th, 2010

A company that provides antivirus offerings for PC users is bringing a free link checker to the Mac.

AVG Technologies plans to unveil a Mac version of AVG LinkScanner, a free download that scans Website links for potential threats. AVG says its LinkScanner application checks Web pages in real-time, posting a warning to users if the software finds a Website that could pose potential problems.

“Every single time you click on a link, any time you’re accessing information on the Internet, we scan it, looking for malware and phishing attempts,” J.R. Smith, CEO of AVG, told Macworld.

One of the few features included with AVG on my PC, that I don’t like. LinkScanner takes up too much in time and resources (on my PC anyway), so I don’t use it. Sorry, it’s the truth.
