I used to check a site's URL in Webutation before visiting it for the first time to make sure it was safe. Now I am getting this pop-up when I go to www.webutation.net

As an alternative you might try virustotal:

 

https://www.virustot...om/gui/home/url

 

You can just paste in the URL and it should tell you if there is anything evil on the page.

Woah, never heard this before. There's a lot of page that carries virus and It's really annoying so this is very useful to me.

You could  also use some thing like Malwarebytes browser guard which blocks a lot of nasties.

Also Bitdefender traffic light
