Antivirus for Gmail, Google, Twitter…Detect Harmful Links Online in Real-Time

Everytime we find an interesting link, we’re likely to share it with others. We use Twitter, Gmail, Facebook, Digg, and many others. It’s great to let your friends know what interests you, but not all links are safe. Some links are harmful enough to cause trouble to your computer or even steal your personal information like password, login name, etc.

If you use Firefox or Internet Explorer, Finjan Vital Security is an add-on that offers more protection from harmful links. Instead of depending on a database containing information about domain reputation, it scans URL and detects malicious content based on code analysis.

Some features:

• Scans the current form of a page as it available on the Web now, in real-time.
• Detects malicious content based on code analysis, rather than using signatures like anti-virus products.
• Provides the most accurate page safety rating based on the actual page content, rather than database lookup of web address like URL filtering products.
