[QUOTE="Wrecker4923, post: 1084565, member: 110877"] I don't know if you are looking for sites to do analysis, or just to prevent yourself for falling into downloading malware / scam. I want to post about prevention here. For the initial look if a link could link to a scam site, I like [URL]https://www.scamadviser.com/[/URL] . I like it because I can assign a FF keyword and paste the site URL I want it to look at. It checks the domain age, gives you a computed score, and links to other reviewer's websites. I never finds a hit with URL scan for VirusTotal. While maybe that is a good thing, it makes me wonder about the utility of using it for everyday URLs I run into. For this, AdBlock DNS (which would also block long-standing malicious IP addresses), uBlock Origin, Malwarebyte browser guard, and Bitdefender trafficlight seem to work better. VirusTotal is an indispensable tool for downloading files, though. [/QUOTE]
