  • No signup required
  • Checked remotely — you do not open the link
  • Verdict with reasons, not only a score

What we check

  • •Known malware & phishing URLs (Google Safe Browsing + PhishTank)
  • •17+ threat-intelligence feeds of malicious domains
  • •Direct executable / installer downloads (.exe, .apk, .msi, .scr)
  • •Drive-by download and fake-update patterns
  • •Redirect chains & URL shorteners → the real final destination
  • •Typosquatting, look-alike domains, and abuse-prone TLDs
  • •Domain age, hosting reputation, and HTTPS/certificate validity

How it works

  1. Copy the full link (don’t click it) and paste it in the box above.
  2. We resolve any redirects to the real destination, then scan it against Safe Browsing, PhishTank, threat feeds, and our malware heuristics.
  3. You get a clear Safe / Suspicious / Malicious verdict, a risk score, and the exact reasons — so you know whether it’s safe to open or download.

How to read results

  • •Verdict & risk score — Safe, Suspicious, or Malicious at a glance
  • •Why it was flagged — Safe Browsing / PhishTank hits, threat-feed matches, or a malicious-download pattern
  • •Redirect chain — every hop, ending at the URL that actually loads
  • •Domain signals — age, reputation, and lookalike/typosquatting checks
