Dr.Web antivirus link checker is a plugin for internet browser so that you can check any files or link for virus before download/open it.

Normally, we like to download free applications/files from the internet and try using them. But, we need to scan them before we install/open these files. If you would like to scan them before downloading them, what should you do? You can try Dr.Web link checker, which is a browser plugin that add a button to your right-click context menu.

Before you download a file or open a link, right-click it and choose “Scan with Dr.Web”. Dr.Web link checker is available for IE, Firefox, and Opera.

I am not advise you to uninstall your anti-virus. Basically, you can use Dr.Web link checker to filter dangerous file from being downloaded to your computer. After you download the file, you better scan it with your own anti-virus.
