Online Scan - Websites

Infected websites can be sources of driveby infections or hijacks. You only need to go to those infected websites without clicking anything else and your PC will get infected. There are online scanning tools that check websites if they are safe or not. I suppose none of the scanning tools is 100% accurate so it may be good to scan using a few such website scanning tools.

This page aims to list a collection of useful online tools that is able to scan websites, given a specific URL / website address. These scanning tools are useful when you need to check if a website is safe from malware, hijacks, or other types of infection. 

If you are looking for free antivirus that provides online scans of your actual computer / PC, rather than websites, then go to Online Scan - Antivirus

The website helps to decide that a website is safe to visit and share information with.

Detect If Your Web Pages Link to Infected Sites or Serve Malware Themselves

WRITTEN BY AMIT AGARWAL ON NOVEMBER 26, 2008

Find Security Holes in your Website

1. Scandoo Google Search – Scandoo is a wrapper around Google Search that adds visual hints in search results so you can easily know if the target page is safe or not.

Here’s how you can use Scandoo to detect problems with your own site. Just type site:domain.com in the search box and it will show the safety rating of every web page on your site. So if I were the owner of warez.com, this is what I would see on my screen:

2. Live Webmaster Tools – You can add your site to Live Webmaster and then use the Crawl Issues section to find out about all pages on your site that are possibly infected with malware. The tool will also help you learn about external links on your site that point to pages hosting malware.

3. McAfee Site Advisor - Type in the address of your website and Site Advisor will prepare a very detailed report of possible issues. You will know if that site points to some bad neighborhood or if there are any links to executables and zip files that are infected with virus or spyware. This tool was developed at MIT and later acquired by McAfee.

4. Google Safe Browsing – Add your own website URL to the Safe Browsing diagnostic page and it will tell you if Google has classified that site under malware. If the site is flagged as suspicious, the best option it fix the pages and request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools.

While Google will only tell you if the site is infected, you really need to verify the site with Live Search in order to find out about all the different web pages that are infected or may be linking to bad content.

Online Scan - AntiVirus

As with Firewalls, there should be at most, one Antivirus program running on your PC. More than that will cause uncertain behaviour. But how do we know that our antivirus is a good one. Or if we scan a file and it passed our antivirus scan, are we sure it is OK? One solution is to scan the file or files using online scanners available from the web. Here are a few of them:

http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
http://www.bitfender.com/scan8/ie.html
http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan

http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm
http://pestpatrol.com/
http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/removal/online-scanner

Even easier is to upload one file and have it scanned by multiple antivirus software. This can be done at: http://www.virustotal.com/

Malware can be checked by submitted a file to this website:

Alternatively, one can use a sandbox to test our suspicious applications first. Some of the sandbox are:
