That's the point, everything is so slow-w-w-w whenever you want to be safer and secure. That's the price to pay. :(

I gave up after several minutes, life is too short, they have updated the extension now they need to sort the servers or the extension is pointless.

David,
It took me a few minutes and I'm on HS internet access.
Dial-up could take a few hours.....

Theoretically it should take no longer as the scanning is on 'their' servers they visit and scan the link not downloaded to my system.

I just checked directly on their web site http://www.freedrweb.com/browser/mozilla+firefox/ (http://www.freedrweb.com/browser/mozilla+firefox/). There must be an error on Mozilla (compatible only to FF2.0) or their part, there is no update to FF3.0.1, that explains all!!! :-X

Good idea. May be we should make the suggestion to AILWIL. Just scanned  thoroughly my PC with today's Dr. Web Cure-it. Only found 3 FP, 2 of wich FP recognized by ST 4 months ago... :o

It may pass FF 3.0 compatibility validation, but here to it simply doesn't work, I can leave it for ages spinning its wheels but it never arrives at a decision on the link or you get the server busy.

As far as I can see 1.0.17 is just a hacked version of earlier releases very disappointing

It's working or appears to work (as in you can right click on a link and launch the scan), it is getting a result to the scan that isn't working, certainly not for me.

Dr.Web anti-virus link checker is faster in Opera & is trouble free.  I have gotten the "server is busy" once or twice.

Life in cyberspace is faster & better with Opera. ;D

Yes, but it's not the link checker!! We want a quick and useful LINK CHECKER, only that, that's all Dr. Web people. ;)

The weird thing for me that page doesn't work for me either, as soon as I click in the box to paste the URL I get the navigation window come up expecting me to give a HDD location. I really am getting tired of chasing my tail with DrWeb.

David, this isn't for web links or URL, it's to scan files on line. I don't know if you can save target and then scan the file but at this point it's far too complicated!!! I give up! (as many of you and I) 8)

This one does:  :)
http://online.us.drweb.com/?url=1 (http://online.us.drweb.com/?url=1)



The one you received from Damien does both. Default is file but on the bottom you can choose "Select URL"

Thanks Bob, that one works.

It is almost the same URL as one I normally use,  online.drweb.com/?url=1, note: no .us, e.g online.us.drweb.com, so it looks like they changed it (I used to have it on speed dial so to speak) and that URL no longer works for me.
