Scanning a web link for virus(s)

How do I go about scanning a web link for viruses before clicking on them to avoid a virus infection???

Hello Joe,

If the web link have https in the address, it means that the link is secured and good to use.

Use this link https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url to check if the URL you are using is safe or not.

I am looking for safeweb.Norton type thing in AVG to scan every website before proceeds if it's safe or not, does anyone know if AVG or any other one has the same thing, I don't want to use Norton because I personally know the owner and business plus bought already from this website's for Bathroom Accessories (url removed) it is 100% trusted, but when I checked it on Norton safe web scanner it comes out spam and risky, how, how is this possible, so want something same but accurate.
