How to safely check if a website is malicious

Hi guys,

After watching the following video of CNN how easy it is to hack companies I forwarded it to my IT administration team.

They all had a good laugh on how stupid these guys were and continued with their job.

During my daily check of the SOPHOS central alerts I found one which was caused by one of my IT colleagues who tested a website which was blocked by intercept X on another colleagues computer.

I highly thank Sophos for protecting us against this threat but how can my IT admin check if a website is malicious or not in a safe way?

There are several websites who pretend to check websites safely but in my paranoid IT world I’m not sure if I can trust these sites. Is there a SOPHOS way to perform such a test safely?

Thanks a lot and best regards

Matt
