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 site has been active for over three years, which typically suggests a level of stability, yet it is currently flagged by five security vendors including Fortinet and VIPRE. These detections often point to the presence of malicious advertising networks or scripts that can compromise a visitor's device. The page lacks any official contact information or business registration, which is common for pirate streaming platforms. While it functions as a video portal, the high number of external scripts from various domains increases the risk of drive-by downloads. Our intelligence stack notes that the site's reputation is currently at zero despite its age.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site functions as a specialized streaming portal for 'Donghua' (Chinese anime), featuring a login system and social links to Telegram and Facebook. It lacks standard corporate transparency, providing no email address or phone number for support.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common content delivery network, which masks the true origin server. It utilizes a valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, though this only secures the connection and does not verify the legitimacy of the content.

Domain History

Registered nearly four years ago through Squarespace, the domain is not a 'fly-by-night' operation. However, it has failed to gain a significant global traffic index, suggesting a niche or fluctuating user base.

Web Reputation

The site's reputation is heavily impacted by detections from ADMINUSLabs, Chong Lua Dao, and CyRadar. These engines specifically categorize the site as malicious or a source of malware, likely due to the nature of the third-party ad networks it employs.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags anime4i.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — anime4i.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. anime4i.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • anime4i.com is 3.6 years old, registered on 11/1/2022 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 7 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged anime4i.com as malicious or suspicious (5 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. anime4i.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • anime4i.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 24, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around anime4i.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
