How to Tell if a Link Is Safe Without Clicking on It

Here's what to do with a link that looks suspicious.

I'm including a how-to from PC-World, however I have to say that if you owned either Norton 360 v5, or Symantec Internet Security 2012 you would have a much more successful and safe searching experience. When you search for something (say via GOOGLE) Norton actually checks out the links and the links on the site of that link and posts little colored dots by each link: Green (Everything looks good), Orange (The website is basically okay, but there are a few suspicious links on it) and finally Red (DON'T GO THERE). Subscriptions really aren't that expensive if you consider the cost of virus removal, loss of data, or Identity theft, but...'Nuff Said on that, here's the link to the PC-WORLD
article!
