Our automated security review marked com.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is com.com safe to use?

com.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does com.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. com.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 32 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the com.com domain?

com.com is 31.2 years old, registered on 4/13/1995 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has com.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report com.com as clean.

Is com.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. com.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is com.com hosted?

com.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.

How often is the com.com report updated?

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 com.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

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 domain operates as a wildcard 'catch-all' for any URL ending in '.com.com', a common mistake when typing web addresses. Our research shows a consistent history of this site being used to serve deceptive content, including fake malware scans and 'MacKeeper' advertisements. While the infrastructure is stable and the domain is over 30 years old, its primary purpose is to exploit user error for ad revenue. Multiple independent reports from security communities highlight its use in phishing and browser exploit attempts. Because it dynamically generates content based on what the user mistyped, the risk level can change instantly from harmless ads to malicious redirects.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site functions as a wildcard landing page that populates content based on the subdomain used (e.g., 'example.com.com'). It typically displays search results or monetized ad links designed to look like legitimate navigation options.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a major content delivery network and uses Google-issued SSL certificates. The hosting IP has a clean reputation with no recent abuse reports, suggesting the site avoids direct malware hosting in favor of deceptive advertising.

Domain History

Registered in April 1995, this is one of the oldest domains on the internet. It has been under the same registrar for years and is currently locked to prevent unauthorized transfers, which is typical for high-value 'dictionary' domains.

Web Reputation

Security analysts and system administrators have flagged this domain for over a decade. Reports on Reddit and technical security forums document its role in 'typo-squatting' and serving 'scareware' popups to unsuspecting users.
