- A beautiful indispensable tool, tested by me of course. So Welcome Zulu!

- Also it's good idea to test your suspicious links - in a screenshot online service like these I have carefully chosen:

* Shotbot: http://www.shotbot.fr/index.en.php

* IE NetRenderer: http://netrenderer.com/ (if no snapshot - so your link is very suspicious ..)

* thumbalizr: http://www.thumbalizr.com/index.php

* URL2PNG: http://url2png.com/

* loads.in: http://loads.in/ (if no snapshots - so your link is very suspicious ..)

* ShrinkTheWeb: http://www.shrinktheweb.com/

* BrowserShots: http://browsershots.org/
..

PS. For now, I've found nothing new that could fall within the category 'effective', sorry.

Good list, also Comodo Site Inspector will be likely include on the beta Comodo DNS.

Hmm .. Comodo Site Inspector start scanning a Webpage .. then I click on the 'Start the scan' nice button .. Scanning .. Task Status: started .. I attend, attend ..
Results: 'NO malicious activity or malware detected.' Green. 'This Page has been scanned 2 times in total.' And each time the result is: 'Safe'.

But my link is NOT safe, sorry. My IE8's SmartScreen confirm, that it's not safe, my link .. And me also, I did this link not safe. Because after user's click, it download The VIRUS.

.. another link in Comodo Site Inspector (malware link): and it says: 'This is an inconclusive result. Page not found.' Maybe, maybe ..

.. another: 'can't resolve domain'.
.. another: 'This is a suspicious page'. Aaaa ..
.. another: 'incorrect URL format' (but yes, I have http://www. ..).

Viva Zapata! (?..)

So Comodo Site Inspector, it needs improvements in order to put under the list of 'only effective', sorry. And I have nothing against Comodo Team - on the contrary!

Trend Micro has a good Web filter, and there URL scanner is great too.

[umbrapolaris]

For me if I website don't attack my system directly, it is safe ( for me ). Even if its content is not safe.

@umbrapolaris,
'For me if I website don't attack my system directly, it is safe ( for me ). Even if its content is not safe.'

- Of course, (personally I think also the same), but when I post in a public forum, I think about these others who could click where they do not need ..
