    No problem encountered with Avira Personal Version 10. Also WOT gives it a good (Green) rating.

    Thanks The Hammer for this answer, but Avira Personal doesn't have Internet Scanner and protection, It can detect only files in execution.
    But Avira Premium have this protection.
    Thanks a lot.

    It must be a Bit Defender thing because I have Trustport A/V on this laptop & I get a trojan script warning from the Bit Defender engine. I will try it with my main computer which runs GData & it also uses the Bit Defender engine.

    No flags with ESET Smart Security either. That doesn't mean its a false positive though. It could also be a malicious or infected link on the page redirecting you to a malicious page if you click on the link. It doesn't have to be the page itself. I would submit the URL to bitdefender.

    Please use these two websites from F-Secure and Trendmicro to verify whether or not your website is malicious:

    F-Secure Browser Protection
    http://browsingprotection.f-secure.com/swp/

    Trendmicro Malicious URL info:
    https://qa.securecloud.com/reputation/query?locale=en-US


    Both F-Secure and Trendmicro did not find anything malicious. I also checked the English version of the website http://english.islamway.com/
    and it is also clean. It seems to me it is a false alarm from Bitdefender. Moreover, you could also download Drweb Link Checker as an add-on to IE, FF, and Opera.

    Thanks.

    Yep but that's a toolbar, It's a webform. So, can be used by Chrome, Safari, Opera also.:D

    I dont have a toolbar. Please show me where I have this toolbar?

    Bottom right is XMarxs, top right is AdBlockPlus. Other than that not a single toolbar or icon that doesnt belong to firefox.

    Websites like Siteadvisor or MyWOT are unreliable since green websites can be hacked. Gdata (with the bitdefender engine) gave a warning

    Following that train of thought is illogical. Gdata and bitdefender can also be bypassed with specific infections. If those websites are hacked with those infections your AV solution doesnt have a warning and is useless. Might as well get rid of those too.

    So you have the plugin. I have not used link-extend for long. So it has added an option to hide the toolbar..!! Anyway I don't use plugins because I prefer sandboxed browsing and check about websites that I feel suspicious. So, that webform is useful to me.:)

    Where did I say that AV scanners are reliable? Just pointing out that it gave a warning, can be a FP or a real infection.

    Yup and I pointed out the flaw in your logic. You compare 2 totally different services and their reliability against each other when you stated WOT isnt reliable, but Bitdefender is because it warned you.
