Dr.Web LinkChecker for Chrome

Anyone who has an internet connection has been at least once tempted to click on one those "You're out 1.000.000th customer today" ads, and some of us may have found out the bitter truth about what it means to get a computer virus thanks to those tempting links. It is hard to tell nowadays which websites are safe and which aren't, especially if its the first time you're visiting it. Taking that into consideration, it is no wonder that browser extensions such as the Dr.Web LinkChecker for Google Chrome have become very sought after.

Down to the very basics, installing this extension provides your Chrome browser with several features, such as the ability to instantly scan web pages and files downloaded from the Internet, and block website attempts to monitor user activity and display advertisements. Since the extension uses the same database as the well-known Doctor Web antivirus service, it is constantly updated, thus you can consider yourself protected 24/7.

Social Media platforms aren't safe either, no matter how much they try, as there's always the danger of being the victim of a phishing attempt. Fortunately, Dr.Web LinkChecker protects against phishing attempts and virus infections in social networks, such as those from VKontakte, Facebook, and Google+. More so, your search activity will not be shared with anyone, so your information cannot be used to targeted advertising material, it blocks ads, and it also allows you to scan files up to a certain size before you download it, thus acting as an antivirus, VPN and adblocker, all in one. The best part about the extension is that all these features are provided to you without any impact on the browser's performance.

Dr.Web LinkChecker is a great addition for any Google Chrome user, as they can rest assured that their information and digital safety is assured by one of the complete virus databases in the world.
