Score breakdown
See the live page ↓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.
If this is a scam — what it means for you
You were probably about to watch or download something here.
If it is, the site won't take your money directly, but its ads push fake video players, 'codec' downloads, and 'allow notifications' traps that install PUPs and adware on your device.
If this is a scam, how it works
The typical trap, step by step
This site is unverified — it may be legitimate. If it is a scam, this is the playbook pages like it follow:
Free movies, shows, or anime draw you in.
Fake “play” buttons, “your player is out of date” prompts, and “allow notifications” pop-ups surround the video.
Clicking them installs PUPs and adware, or floods you with notification spam.
The site makes its money from that malvertising — not from you directly.
If a site follows these steps, treat it as unsafe — close it and don't enter anything.

Intelligence
The domain was registered on 11 July 2026 via the Tongan government registrar and is only 14 days old. No legitimate business registration or contact details appear on the page. Scam Detector gives the site a 15.8/100 trust score and Gridinsoft blocks it outright. The site loads external scripts from multiple third-party domains and claims to be the successor to movish.net, a common domain-hopping pattern for pirate streaming services. Zero antivirus engines flagged the page, but the combination of extreme youth, missing business evidence, and independent block-list hits outweighs the clean 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 movish.to 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.
- movish.to 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 — movish.to scores 57/100 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 movish.to 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 movish.to 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 movish.to 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 — movish.to 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.
- movish.to is 14 days old, registered on July 11, 2026 through Government of Kingdom of Tonga. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — movish.to presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 75 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".
- movish.to 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 25, 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 movish.to has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
