Website Safety Checker

Paste the full address into the box above and select Scan. Osprey checks the link against the same phishing, malware, and scam sources it uses to protect your browser, then shows what each provider reports. If every provider returns a clean result, the site is very likely safe to open. If one or more flag it, treat the link with caution.

Yes. The scanner checks each URL against threat feeds and reputation services that track malware, malicious downloads, and compromised sites. A flagged result means at least one provider considers the page dangerous, so you should avoid it. This checks the address and its reputation, not the contents of a file you have already downloaded.

Phishing and scam pages are often brand new and built to imitate a real login page or store. Osprey acts as a scam website detector by checking anti-phishing feeds and newly registered domain lists, so a link that copies your bank is more likely to be flagged here. A clean result is not a guarantee, so still read the address bar carefully.

Rather than giving a single website reputation score, this web reputation check shows you exactly which security vendors flag the domain. Because the check runs through Osprey's proxy, the providers only see the proxy rather than you.

You can check a link for spam and verify link legitimacy by running it through our free scam checker. We aggregate data from threat feeds to identify domains frequently used in spam campaigns and deceptive advertising.

Yes. When you use this link scanner tool to run a virus scan on a link, our servers process the request. Your browser never connects directly to the suspicious destination, keeping your device safe from potentially malicious code.

VirusTotal is a broad aggregator of antivirus engines and is well suited to inspecting files and URLs in depth. Osprey's checker is narrower by design: it runs the exact set of URL and domain providers that block sites live in your browser, so a result here tells you how Osprey itself would treat the page.

Yes. Checking a link is completely free and does not require an account or any personal details. It uses the same protection that ships with the free, open-source Osprey extension.
