Scan links that you get in e-mails to Check the Web Site for Viruses - www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner

Here's a good Page, where you can scan links that you get in e-mails and check the Web Site for Mal-ware or Viruses. Before you click on the link and go there...  What you can do is... Right Click on the Link and Select "Copy Link Location". Then go to this site and paste the link in the little Link Scanner Area, http://www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner/. See the Screen Shots Below...




It may not work with the whole Link (URL) as is. It will open up another page with your results. If you get a page that looks like this...



You can just delete everything but the Base URL (the Main Web Site Address). Like this...



Then you will get a results Page, telling you if the Site has Known Problems, Mal-ware or  Viruses. This Page was Ok, so the Results Page looks like this...


 
Then you can feel a little more Safe, about Clicking on those E-Mail Links. It's a bit of a Pain, I know. But, far less of a PAIN. Than Getting a Virus or Mal-ware on your PC...

XBoot is an easy to use utility for creating Multi-Boot USB Sticks or CD - DVD's with ISO Files

This is my Go To USB and ISO File Multi-Boot Linux Distro and Windows Recovery CD - USB Builder. You can try out any ISO file in XBoot, by dragging it into the XBoot Window. Then it will ask you which Boot Method to use, if it can't be done automatically by XBoot. If your Distro or Recovery ISO is in the drop down list. Choose it and go. Allot of the time, the ISO's I want to use are not in the list. I have had the best luck of them working with the Grub for Dos Setting. But you can try them all. This can be time consuming. But, you can try out your Multi-Boot ISO or USB Stick in Qemu a Virtual Machine (built in to XBoot). Before putting your CD - DVD or USB Stick on a Real Machine to see if it works. I just wish I had about 20 USB Sticks of at least 5GB. So that I wouldn't have to keep Deleting my Great Multi-Boot Setups, to do a new one, for a different Purpose. I also, have a hard time remembering which ISO's worked and which ones didn't, last time. But, that's not XBoot's fault;)...
