You can find out if a site is infected by entering its URL into the corresponding field and clicking the “check” button. The service will check the presence of the web project in the secure browsing databases of Google and Yandex. Why to check link's safety before visiting it?

  • Firstly, it is a way to check any site for viruses. Even your own. After all, if it's caught in the databases of infected unsafe resources — it's worth sounding the alarm.
  • Secondly, you will make sure that the specified address does not threaten your computer. A site security analysis based on Yandex and Google lists will confirm the validity of the information.
  • Also, some sites steal data from social networks and other sources to know phone numbers of all potential clients, unnoticed by their visitors. And then regularly call you with a purchase offer, violating your privacy.
