It's ob- vious it will take you to a dif- ferent website if you click on it. Or maybe you're a recip- ient of one of those emails a friend sent to everyone in her address list. You're encour- aged to click on the link to watch a funny video clip. Because you're a faithful reader of this tech column, you know you've got to be careful on the Internet. Vi- ruses and malware lie in wait to infect your computer. So how can you tell if a website is safe to visit or not – before you browse to it? How can you be sure your PC won't become infected? THE BAD NEWS Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed way to assure a website is completely safe or virus and malware free. THE GOOD NEWS But there are some fair- ly reliable tools you can use to help gauge the safety of a website before you visit it. First, you can use online web- based scanners to examine the web address. • Norton SafeWeb - htt- ps://safeweb.norton.com/ – Security vendor Symantec offers this website to provide you an analysis of a website's reputation. Most of its infor- mation comes from the gen- eral public who submit re- views based on their inter- actions with the websites. So you must still use caution be- cause these reviews are not necessarily legitimate. • Comodo Site Inspec- tor – app.webinspector. com – Comodo Site Inspec- tor, a free service by the pop- ular cybersecurity vendor, will scan a URL for twelve potentially harmful compo- nents that could damage your computer. The scan can take several minutes to complete. • ScanURL - https:// scanurl.net/ – Similar to Norton SafeWeb, Sca- nURL.net checks multiple databases such as Goog- le SafeBrowsing, Web of Trust, and PhishTank to see if a site has been reported as a potentially malicious site. THE ROUTER APPROACH Second, you can imple- ment DNS filtering on your router. DNS can be considered the phone book of the In- ternet. Each website ad- dress (like www.calibre- forhome.com) points to a specific server address comprised of numbers where the site is hosted, known as an IP address. OpenDNS offers a free service for home users, al- lowing you to filter all your Internet traffic through their DNS servers, which are programmed to block known harmful websites. It can also speed up your web browsing, compared to using your Internet Service Provider's default DNS servers. You can check out their packages at https://www. opendns.com/home-inter- net-security. Finally, you can install a web filtering software pro- gram on your computer. The Managed Web Pro- tection we offer prevents you from visiting websites known contain malware, spyware, adware, and oth- er infections. It also func- tions as a parental control tool – keeping your kids and grandkids from vis- iting inappropriate web- sites. Of course, the safest method of all – don't click! Scott A.
