SiteInspector malware scanning technology

SiteInspector's link scanning feature allows you to check whether a web page is malicious before you actually visit that page. To scan a page that seems suspicious to you, simply right-click on the link to that page and click 'Scan Link'. Alternatively, the SiteInspector button at the top corner of IceDragon allows you to instantly scan the page you are looking at to find out if it contains viruses or other malware. When the scan is complete, you'll see a detailed breakdown of site safety, domain registration details, administrative contacts and a history of previous malware scans on that website.

Secure DNS service

IceDragon users are also given the option to use Comodo's Domain Name System (DNS) servers, free of charge. Doing so brings about several advantages, including:

Web-pages load faster – Comodo operate a huge network of fully redundant DNS servers located at optimal locations around the world. This means your requests for web-pages are always resolved by the high performance DNS cluster closest to you. The result? Websites load faster than if you continue to use the DNS server provided by your ISP (which you share with all their other customers).

A safer Internet experience - SecureDNS helps users keep safe online with its malware domain filtering feature. SecureDNS references a real-time block list (RBL) of harmful websites. These include phishing sites, malware sites, spyware sites, and parked domains that contain excessive advertising. You'll be warned whenever you attempt to access a site containing such potentially threatening content. Our highly secure infrastructure also reduces your exposure to DNS poisoning attacks.

Social media integration Found an interesting page or video? IceDragon's dedicated social media button makes it easy to instantly share your web-finds with your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn friends.

Privacy and performance enhancements IceDragon features several tweaks to the core Firefox build to improve both security and performance. These include the removal of crash report and performance data submissions, the removal of the snippets service, an all new update module and many other under-the-hood enhancements. We think this make IceDragon the fastest and most secure version of Firefox around.
