Is myvideolibrary.info legit or a scam?
Fake search engine and browser hijacker that hijacks browser settings and redirects searches to myvideolibrary.info without user consent.
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.

MT Intelligence
Our research uncovered four independent security reports classifying myvideolibrary.info as a browser hijacker and fake search engine. PCRisk, Enigma Software, and MalwareTips all document how the associated "Video Library Search" extension changes browser search engines and homepages to this domain without transparent user control. GridinSoft assigns it an 18/100 trust score and flags it as suspicious. The domain lacks any business registration, legitimate company information, or positive user reviews. While the page presents itself as a simple video-search tool, the evidence shows it operates as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) that aggressively promotes itself through deceptive browser extensions. The five-year domain age does not offset the consistent malicious classification across multiple security vendors.
