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
Our analysis confirms this site is a front for distributing highly dangerous malware. While it presents as a legitimate tool for Discord and Zoom users, the installer bundles a secondary hidden executable that functions as a Remote Access Trojan. Security researchers have documented the software performing keystroke logging, screen captures, and clipboard hijacking. Our antivirus network, including Kaspersky and ADMINUSLabs, explicitly flags the site and its files as malicious. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information further confirms this is a criminal operation.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The website is designed to look like a professional software landing page, offering 'ClearMic v2.4.1' for Windows. It uses stolen or generic marketing language about AI noise suppression to build trust with gamers and remote workers.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a common content delivery network, but the underlying reputation is poor. Our antivirus partners, including Kaspersky, ADMINUSLabs, and Fortinet, have flagged the domain for malware and spam distribution.

Domain History

The domain lacks transparent ownership records and has no established history of legitimate software development. It appeared recently and immediately began distributing files that trigger high-severity alerts in our sandbox environment.

Web Reputation

Independent research on platforms like Reddit has exposed this specific site as a malware trap. Technical analysis of the 'ClearMic' installer shows it uses sandbox evasion techniques and attempts to delete Windows Volume Shadow Copies, a behavior typically seen in ransomware and advanced data stealers.
Risk Factors
6
  • Confirmed distribution of a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) hidden in the installer.
  • Multiple antivirus engines including Kaspersky and ADMINUSLabs flag the site as malicious.
  • Documented malicious behavior including keylogging, screen capture, and data exfiltration.
  • The software attempts to delete system backups (Volume Shadow Copies).
  • Zero verifiable business registration or physical contact details.
  • Uses sandbox evasion and persistence techniques to remain hidden on infected PCs.
Positive Signals
1
  • The site uses a valid SSL certificate.
AI Recommendation
Do not download any files from this website. If you have already installed ClearMic, immediately disconnect your computer from the internet, back up your files, and perform a clean reinstallation of Windows, as the malware is designed to hide deep within the system.
