This particular site could certainly be useful to those unsure of the exact content of websites they may find when they perform a search within google. The site is scandoo and it offers to check in realtime the content of the result returned from certain search engines such as google.

Here is an extract from the scandoo website explaining what the free service offers:

"We think the web should be safe and free. Too many people today suffer from fraud of their online bank accounts through spyware and phishing attacks, and children are being tricked to click on innocent looking links only to find offensive content. Scandoo is our way of keeping the web secure and safe for all, without the need for you to download and install any software. Just type, click and use your preferred search engine with confidence that the results are scanned and safe to visit.

How Does it Work?

Our scanning technology is installed on high speed server infrastructure around the world. We scan each and every one of your search results to see if there is anything malicious behind the links and then feed the security results back into your search page. Unfortunately, using a database lookup alone can't protect you with better or safer searches, and because database technology relies on updates you can't rely on its accuracy. That’s why Scandoo is designed to give you advanced warning – before you click – by scanning content in real-time. In addition we continually update our ratings based on your feedback and rely on our community of users to help protect each other."
