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.
What this means for you
You were probably about to watch or download something here.
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.
How this scam works
The trap, step by step
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Fake “play” buttons, “your player is out of date” prompts, and “allow notifications” pop-ups surround the video.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.
Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

Intelligence
The domain has operated for seven years and hosts a piracy portal that streams copyrighted films without licenses. Antivirus engines CRDF and VIPRE both flag the page as malicious while alphaMountain.ai marks it suspicious. Independent security reports from MacPaw and MacSecurity document aggressive pop-ups that trick users into enabling push notifications and installing unwanted programs. The site contains no contact details, business registration, or legitimate business presence. These combined signals establish a clear pattern of malware distribution rather than a simple copyright violation.

What to do
Fake pop-ups & scareware
This page uses fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number — none of it is real.
- Do not interact with myflixer.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Close the tab — don't click "Allow", "Download", or "Call"
You didn't win, and your device isn't infected. Every "Allow notifications", "Download", "Scan now", or "Call support" button leads to adware, junk extensions, or a scam. Just close the tab — or the whole browser.
- If you clicked "Allow", turn the notifications back off
Open your browser's Site Settings → Notifications, find the site, and set it to Block (or remove it). That stops the spam pop-ups it now pushes to your desktop.
- OpenRemove anything it installed, then run an adware scan
Uninstall any browser extension, "player", "codec", or app you added because of this page, and run a reputable free adware / malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs. And never call a number shown in a pop-up — real vendors don't do that.
Final Verdict
Myflixer.com is an illegal streaming site that pushes malware and adware through deceptive pop-ups. Two antivirus engines flagged it as malicious and security researchers warn of push-notification scams and browser hijacking. Do not visit or download anything from this domain.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- myflixer.com is a scareware / fake-pop-up page — the kind that flashes "Congratulations, you won!" or "Your device is infected!" alerts to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (2 as outright malicious). None of it is real — you didn't win, your device isn't infected, and its "Allow", "Download", and "Call" buttons all lead to junkware or a scam. Close the tab: don't click anything, don't allow notifications, and never call a number it shows.
- No — myflixer.com scored just 3/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- Almost certainly not from just loading it. myflixer.com shows fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to scare or tempt you into clicking — the pop-up itself is the trick, not a real infection or a real prize. The danger is what happens if you act on it: clicking "Allow" turns on spam desktop notifications, and "Download", "Update", or "Scan now" buttons install adware, unwanted extensions, or PUPs. If you only saw the pop-ups and closed the tab, you're fine. If you clicked "Allow", block the site under your browser's Notifications settings; if you installed or downloaded anything, remove it and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes). And never call a "support" number shown in a pop-up — that's a scam.
- No. The "Congratulations, you won!" and "Your device is infected!" pop-ups on myflixer.com are fake — an automated ad-network page shows the same message to everyone who lands on it. You didn't win anything, and nothing actually scanned your device. The whole point is to get you to click: "Claim", "Allow", "Download", and "Call" all lead to adware, spam notifications, junk browser extensions, or a fake-support phone scam. Close the tab and don't click anything on the page.
- If you're getting pop-ups even after closing the page, you probably clicked "Allow" on a notification prompt — the spam now comes from your browser, not the site. Open your browser settings → Site Settings → Notifications, find myflixer.com (and anything else you don't recognise), and set it to Block or remove it. Then uninstall any extension, "player", or app you added because of the page, and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs.
- Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged myflixer.com, 2 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — myflixer.com 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.
- myflixer.com is 7 years old, registered on August 2, 2019 through Dynadot Inc. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- myflixer.com resolves to an IP operated by Trellian Pty. Limited 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 24, 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 myflixer.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
