VirusScanLink: Secure Browsing Assistant

VirusScanLink: Secure Browsing Assistant is a Chrome extension that enhances your browsing security by providing real-time URL analysis through the VirusTotal API. By simply hovering over links with a pre-set key combination, users can quickly check the safety status of URLs. This tool offers peace of mind while browsing, allowing users to customize their experience with adjustable settings.

With VirusScanLink, users can activate URL analysis by holding a specific key combination while hovering over a link or by right-clicking on a page or link to access the context menu for an instant safety check. The extension provides a tooltip near the cursor or in the context menu, indicating whether the URL is safe, malicious, or requires caution. Users can further personalize their experience by accessing the extension's options to customize key combinations and choose between Light or Dark theme.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
