Checking a website for safety

Kaspersky Free allows checking the safety of a website before you click a link to open it. Websites are checked using URL Advisor.

URL Advisor is not available in Microsoft Internet Explorer browser (versions 10 and 11) with the new Windows user interface style.

URL Advisor checks links on the web page opened in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Kaspersky Free displays one of the following icons next to the checked link:

 – if the linked web page is safe according to Kaspersky Lab

 – if there is no information about the safety status of the linked web page

 – if a web page opened from a link could be used by criminals to harm your computer or data, according to Kaspersky Lab

 – if the linked web page is dangerous according to Kaspersky Lab

To view a pop-up window with more details on the link, move the mouse pointer to the corresponding icon.

By default, Kaspersky Free checks links in search results only.
