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.

/ 100
Critical visual risk

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The website is a software piracy portal offering 'cracked' versions of expensive professional suites, which is a high-risk vector for malware distribution. The presence of non-existent software versions (e.g., 2027 releases) strongly suggests the files are deceptive or malicious.

What our vision model saw

6 signals

Site offers downloads for high-value commercial software including Autodesk, Adobe, and Microsoft products for free.

Lists impossible future versions of software such as 'AutoCAD v2027' and 'Photoshop 2026'.

Multiple banner advertisements for third-party file hosting and external download portals.

Layout mimics a legitimate software repository but lacks official licensing or vendor verification.

Presence of 'new' badges on every listed item to create a false sense of updated content.

The site uses a generic domain and layout typical of 'warez' or cracked software distribution hubs.

Confidence
The site has been active for over 4,200 days and maintains a significant amount of traffic, which typically suggests a stable operation rather than a fly-by-night scam. However, our analysis shows it distributes 'cracked' versions of high-value commercial software from vendors like Adobe and Autodesk. Our page analyzer flagged the presence of impossible software versions, such as 'AutoCAD 2027,' which indicates deceptive file naming. While independent review aggregators show some positive community feedback, the inherent nature of 'warez' sites means the downloads are unverified and frequently bundled with hidden threats. We have adjusted the trust score downward to reflect the significant security risks associated with pirated binaries.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The storefront is organized as a massive repository for Windows, Mac, and Android software. It prominently features 'Direct Download' links for professional suites that normally cost thousands of dollars. We noted several 'new' badges on listings for software versions that have not yet been officially released by the developers.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a major content delivery network and utilizes a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. It loads resources from several external domains, including third-party file hosts and advertising networks common in the piracy ecosystem. No contact email is provided, though social media links are present.

Domain History

The domain was registered in October 2014, making it an established fixture in the software download space. It has a high global traffic ranking and a clean record with our antivirus network, with 0 out of 92 engines reporting it as malicious. This longevity is often used to build a false sense of security for users.

Web Reputation

Independent review sites show a mix of high praise from users looking for free software and warnings from the broader security community. While there are no formal 'scam' reports regarding financial theft, the consensus among security researchers is that the files hosted here are untrustworthy and likely contain backdoors or data stealers.

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 marked mutaz.net 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.
  • mutaz.net 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.
  • Yes. mutaz.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 57 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • mutaz.net is 11.7 years old, registered on 10/4/2014 through Name.com, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report mutaz.net as clean.
  • No. mutaz.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • mutaz.net 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 21, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around mutaz.net have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
