Confidence
The domain has been registered for approximately 21 years and belongs to Guylaine Daigneault, a Montreal-based author, lyricist, and novelist with documented creative output since 1993. Our research confirmed her presence on established platforms including Discogs, Amazon, Facebook (892 likes on her author page), Instagram, and Canadian booksellers, all promoting her published works and music collaborations. No scam reports, complaints, or fraud mentions appear anywhere across web searches. The single malware flag from ESET appears to be a false positive, as the site contains no malicious code, has a valid SSL certificate, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. The page's minimal visible content is consistent with a personal portfolio site that may rely on JavaScript rendering or external platform links rather than on-page text.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site appears to be a personal portfolio or landing page for Guylaine Daigneault. The visible page content is minimal, which is typical for author/artist sites that may redirect to external platforms (Amazon, Discogs, social media) or use JavaScript-based rendering. No login forms, countdown timers, or spam mechanics are present.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, 42 days to expiry) and is hosted on IP 66.102.137.57, which has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. No redirects or domain-spoofing indicators are present.

Domain History

Registered approximately 21 years ago (7699 days), the domain has been continuously maintained by the same registrar (Promo People, Inc.). This long registration history is a strong legitimacy signal and rules out typical scam-domain patterns (which are usually ephemeral).

Web Reputation

Our research confirmed Guylaine Daigneault is an active Canadian author and songwriter with verifiable creative work: published books including the "52 Réflexions pour une année riche en émotions" and Sarah trilogy; songs written for established artists (Natasha St-Pier, Bruno Pelletier); and documented presence on Discogs, Amazon, and Canadian booksellers. No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews were found. One antivirus engine (ESET) flagged the domain as malware, but this appears to be a false positive given the absence of malicious code, clean sandbox results, and the site's legitimate business registration in Canada.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on guylainedaigneault.com and not a lookalike like g-uylainedaigneault.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

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 found no threat indicators on guylainedaigneault.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • guylainedaigneault.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 74/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. guylainedaigneault.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 42 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • guylainedaigneault.com is 21.1 years old, registered on 5/17/2005 through Promo People, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. guylainedaigneault.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • guylainedaigneault.com resolves to an IP operated by HostPapa in CA (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around guylainedaigneault.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
