AVG Anti-Virus includes a link-scanner that is supposed to provide
protection while surfing the Web.  The Surf-Shield portion of the
link-scanner works with any application that downloads via the HTTP
protocol.  The Search-Shield portion looks at links provided some of the
more popuplar search engines.

The Search-Shield supposedly works with Firefox through version 9.* but
not with SeaMonkey.  I'm going to experiment to see if I can tweak it to
work with SeaMonkey.
