Windows only: AVG LinkScanner is a free browser plug-in for Firefox and Internet Explorer that automatically scans your search results and flags links pointing to potentially dangerous content.

Just download and install the plug-in, and from then on LinkScanner will automatically scan search results from both Google and Yahoo in either popular browser. If all's clear, LinkScanner will display a green checkmark next to the result; if not, you'll see a red 'x', indicating a threat. Hovering your mouse over the flag displays more information about the threat. (Two more icons with exclamation points indicate caution, but we never saw these while using it.) LinkScanner is a free download, Windows only.
