A URL scanner is a tool that checks whether a website link is safe before you visit it. When you paste a URL into ShieldScan, it queries multiple threat intelligence databases — including VirusTotal's 95+ antivirus engines and Google Safe Browsing — to determine if the site hosts malware, phishing content, or other threats. You get the result as a 0–100 Risk Score without your browser ever loading the dangerous page.
Phishing attacks, malware downloads, and scam websites are the leading cause of data breaches and account takeovers. Attackers disguise malicious links as legitimate sites, often using lookalike domains (paypa1.com instead of paypal.com) or URL shorteners to hide the true destination. Scanning a link before clicking it takes less than 10 seconds and can prevent malware infections, credential theft, and financial fraud.
ShieldScan is a VirusTotal alternative that provides cleaner, more actionable results. While VirusTotal shows raw engine results, ShieldScan combines them with a weighted risk score, Google Safe Browsing data, SSL certificate status, domain registration age, and a live screenshot of the website — making it easier to reach a verdict, especially for non-technical users.
Right-click the link in your email client and copy the URL. Do not click it. Then paste the copied URL into ShieldScan's URL scanner and run the scan. ShieldScan will check the destination against phishing databases and antivirus engines without your browser ever visiting the page. This is the safest method to verify suspicious email links.
