Antivirus clear Not on major blacklists

These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

The URL points to a raw IP address rather than a normal domain or business site. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned clean results with zero detections. However the evidence package shows one clear report on StopForumSpam tying the IP to forum spam using the email margarethusep@outlook.com. No business registration, positive reviews, or legitimate traffic data exist for this address. The combination of spam activity and lack of any normal web presence makes the IP untrustworthy.
