Saf.li – URL Shortener Service That Checks Links For Viruses And Phishing

There are a lot of URL shortener services out there but most of them just shorten the links without even scanning it if it has viruses, malware or other threats that can harm your computer, so when you receive a short link and when you click it, your computer might get easily infected. However, on my previous post, I showed you a solution for this problem and that is Long URL Please add-on that replaces the shortened links to their originals. In addition, I found another shortener service called Saf.li, but this one is unique because it scans the links for viruses and phishing before shortening it so you can share it safely to your friends and family!

Saf.li is just like the other free URL shortener services out there but what’s unique about this is that it scans the links for viruses and other threats so you can share the links safely on the web! The antivirus that Saf.li is using is Bit Defender.

How to use Saf.li:

1. Go to Saf.li and paste the long URL that you want to shorten inside the box.

2. Hit Enter or click Share Saf.li button.

3. Saf.li will automatically scan your link and will generate a short URL afterwards.

4. Share the link to your friends and family or to your social networking sites!

You can also use their bookmarklet so you can easily use their service. Just drag the bookmarklet below to your Bookmarks Toolbar and click it whenever you want to safely shorten the URL you’re currently browsing.
