As a rule, it is known that we should never open website links inserted into emails from unknown senders. They are often the gateway to virus e malwares on your computer. 6c5s4

Even so, there are certain viruses that invade computers, email s and even social network profiles, causing copies of the “malicious link” are automatically sent to all s saved in the 's . This makes it difficult to define whether a link sent by a friend or relative should also be avoided.

For these situations, there are online tools that are willing to evaluate certain links, confirming whether or not they can be clicked. Unlike the programs anti virus traditional, they make the 's life easier by dispensing with the installation on the computer or smartphone.
