Piracy site — expect aggressive ads
Domain is only 30 days old. This looks like a pirate streaming / free-movie site. It isn't a scam that takes your money directly, but it bombards you with pop-ups, fake players, survey walls, and malicious ads that can install PUPs or unwanted extensions. Run an ad-blocker, don't install anything it prompts for, and deny notification requests.
Is itachi.tv legit or a scam?
30-day-old anime streaming site with no business registration and conflicting Reddit reports about reliability.
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.

Intelligence
The domain registered only 30 days ago on NameCheap with no privacy protection. No antivirus engines flagged the page and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. The site presents itself as a free anime streaming portal with a clean interface and no login forms. Reddit threads label it a content scraper with some users praising the ad-free experience while others call it unreliable. No formal business entity exists behind the domain and the name references a fictional Naruto character. The combination of extreme youth, absent contact details, and piracy context outweighs the clean technical scan.

What to do
Piracy site — heavy ads
This is a pirate streaming or download site. The main risk is malvertising — dangerous ads, pop-ups, fake players, and survey walls — not a scam that takes your money.
- Treat itachi.tv as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Use an ad-blocker — and never install a "player" or "codec"
The pop-ups, fake "download" buttons, and "missing codec" prompts on these sites install PUPs, adware, or unwanted browser extensions. A good ad-blocker removes most of the danger; never install anything the site itself offers.
- Deny notification prompts and skip "human verification" surveys
"Allow notifications" leads to spam and scam pop-ups, and "verify you're human" / survey walls are how these sites monetise you — they never actually unlock anything. Close them.
- If you installed something or see new pop-ups, scan for PUPs
Run a reputable anti-malware / adware scan (e.g. Malwarebytes), remove unknown browser extensions, and reset notification permissions in your browser settings.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- itachi.tv is a pirate streaming / download site — it's not a scam that takes your money, but it's high-risk because of the ads. Expect aggressive pop-ups, fake video players, fake "download" and "codec" buttons, "verify you're human" surveys, and malicious ads that can push PUPs, adware, and unwanted browser extensions or notification spam. It's usable with a solid ad-blocker, but never install any "player" or "codec" it prompts for.
- Proceed with caution — itachi.tv scores 54/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- Just loading the page is lower-risk than what the site tries to get you to DO. The real danger on itachi.tv is the ads and pop-ups — fake "download" buttons, "your player is out of date" prompts, and "allow notifications" requests that install PUPs, adware, or unwanted browser extensions. With an ad-blocker, and by never installing anything the site offers or allowing its notifications, the malware risk drops sharply. If you already installed a "player" or "codec" or started seeing pop-ups, run a reputable anti-malware scan and remove any unknown browser extensions.
- That's the business model. Free pirate streaming and download sites make their money from ads, and the most profitable ads are the aggressive kind — pop-ups, pop-unders, fake video players, and fake "download" buttons. Many are malvertising: ads that try to install PUPs, adware, or browser extensions, or push you into "allow notifications" spam. A good ad-blocker removes most of them; without one, the site is genuinely risky.
- Streaming or downloading copyrighted movies and shows from a site like itachi.tv is copyright infringement and is illegal in most countries — even if you never save the file. On safety: the site won't charge your card, but its ads can expose you to PUPs, adware, fake "update" prompts, and scam pages. If you use it, run an ad-blocker, never install a "player" or "codec" it offers, and deny notification requests. Safer, legal options (including free, ad-supported services) are the better choice.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report itachi.tv as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — itachi.tv is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- itachi.tv is 1 month old, registered on June 11, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — itachi.tv presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 59 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
- itachi.tv resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 11, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about itachi.tv has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
