Dangerous Links

Post by emattson »

If you see a link in the forum that look suspicious, a good way to test to see if it has viruses to to do the following:
- Mouse over to the link.
- Right-click and select "Copy link address" from the menu.
- Open a new tab in the browser.
- Open:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search
- Paste to the "Check site status" box.
- Click the search glass icon and it will tell you the status.

If any of you find links to any sites with viruses, porn, drugs, or other illegal sites, please let me know and I'll permanently ban the offender from the forum. I don't fool around.
