Verdict

Fake Microsoft update page delivers password-stealing malware

microsoft-update.support impersonates Microsoft Support and offers a fake Windows 24H2 update that downloads a malicious MSI installer. The installer drops an Electron app and Python runtime that steals Discord tokens, payment details, and other credentials.

Do not visit the site or download any files from it. If you already clicked the download button, scan your system with up-to-date antivirus software and change passwords from a clean device.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Strong malware and impersonation signals

Fourteen independent antivirus engines flagged the site as malicious, confirming the threat is real rather than a false positive.

The page displays the Microsoft logo and the domain microsoft-update.support, directly impersonating official support.

Malwarebytes reported the site pretends to deliver a cumulative Windows update but actually serves password-stealing malware.

Download button leads to credential theft

A prominent button labeled "Télécharger la mise à jour" (Download update) triggers the download of Windowsupdate1.0.0.msi.

The MSI installs an Electron-based application and disguised Python runtime that intercepts Discord login tokens, payment details, and two-factor authentication changes.

Why the score is 1

14 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is microsoft-update.support a scam or a legit download site?

microsoft-update.support is a dangerous malware & deceptive downloads — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for malware and phishing. 17 of 91 security engines flag it (16 as outright malicious). The domain is only 5 months old through Name.com, Inc. — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.

Is microsoft-update.support safe to use?

No — microsoft-update.support has a Safety Score of 1/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.

I already paid or entered my details on microsoft-update.support — what should I do?

If you've already paid or handed over details on microsoft-update.support, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on microsoft-update.support and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.

Can I get my money back from microsoft-update.support?

Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.

Is my device infected after visiting microsoft-update.support?

Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from microsoft-update.support, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.

How do I report microsoft-update.support?

You can report microsoft-update.support through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.

microsoft-update.support looks professional — how can it still be a scam?

Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.

Has microsoft-update.support been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 17 of 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged microsoft-update.support, 16 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is microsoft-update.support on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — microsoft-update.support 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.

How old is the microsoft-update.support domain?

microsoft-update.support is 5 months old, registered on April 4, 2026 through Name.com, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.

Where is microsoft-update.support hosted?

microsoft-update.support resolves to an IP operated by Amazon Technologies 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.

How often is the microsoft-update.support report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on September 15, 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 microsoft-update.support has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
