Is it safe to download from paint-3d.com?

paint-3d.com distributes cracked / pirated software (cracks, keygens, activators), and it's high-risk. The "crack" that "activates" the software is very often the malware itself — an infostealer, ransomware, or crypto-miner — and no antivirus can make a pirated installer safe. Don't download or run anything from here; use the official version or a free, legitimate alternative.

Is paint-3d.com safe to use?

No — paint-3d.com scored just 20/100 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.

Will I get a virus from a crack or keygen on paint-3d.com?

Very possibly. Cracks, keygens, and "activators" are one of the most common malware-delivery methods — the file that "unlocks" the software is frequently an infostealer, ransomware, or crypto-miner, and these pages often tell you to disable your antivirus "so the crack works," which is exactly what the malware needs. If you already ran one, disconnect the device, run a full anti-malware scan, and change important passwords from a clean device.

Can antivirus make a crack from paint-3d.com safe to run?

No. Many crack and keygen pages tell you to turn off your antivirus "so the crack works" — that instruction exists because the antivirus is correctly detecting the malware inside. Even when a crack seems to work, it can quietly install an infostealer or miner in the background. If a download from paint-3d.com requires you to disable protection, treat that as proof it's dangerous.

Is it legal and safe to use cracked software from paint-3d.com?

Downloading cracked or "pre-activated" paid software is software piracy and is illegal in most countries. On safety, it's one of the riskiest things you can do online: cracks are a top delivery method for infostealers and ransomware. Legitimate free and open-source alternatives — or a genuine free tier or trial — give you the software without the malware risk.

Has paint-3d.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report paint-3d.com 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.

Is paint-3d.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — paint-3d.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.

How old is the paint-3d.com domain?

paint-3d.com is 1.1 years old, registered on June 24, 2025 through Spaceship, 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.

Where is paint-3d.com hosted?

paint-3d.com 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.

How often is the paint-3d.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on July 14, 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 paint-3d.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

What this means for you

You were probably about to download cracked or 'pre-activated' software.

The 'crack' that unlocks it is one of the most common ways people get infected — often an infostealer or ransomware. No antivirus makes a pirated installer safe.

How this scam works

The trap, step by step

They offer expensive paid software “free”, cracked or pre-activated.
The download includes a “crack” or “keygen” you must run — and are told to disable antivirus for.
That crack is very often the malware itself (your AV was right).
It quietly steals your logins and crypto, or installs a miner in the background.

Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

Confidence

The page presents itself as the official source for a discontinued Microsoft application and urges visitors to download the software. Visual analysis shows impersonation of Microsoft branding combined with a high-pressure download button and no legitimate corporate contact details. Our sandbox and antivirus engines did not flag the payload itself, yet the site matches known clone and typosquat patterns of microsoft.com. Two external reports explicitly state the site is an unauthorized third-party distributor and advise against downloading. The combination of impersonation, lack of business registration, and direct warnings from community sources outweighs the clean automated scan results.

Risk Factors

Site impersonates Microsoft branding to distribute discontinued software.
Domain is only 1.1 years old with no business registration on file.
Two independent sources explicitly warn the site is unauthorized by Microsoft.
High-pressure "Free Download" button is the primary call-to-action.
No contact email or phone number listed anywhere on the page.

Positive Signals

Zero detections from our antivirus network across 92 engines.
Hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.
Valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services.

The full analysis

Page Content

The site claims to offer the official Microsoft Paint 3D application that was discontinued from the Microsoft Store in August 2024. It uses Microsoft-style headings and promises a free download while providing no verifiable contact email or phone number. The page loads external scripts from clarity.ms, googletagmanager.com, and facebook.com but contains no security seals or official Microsoft verification badges.

Infrastructure

The domain resolves to IP 104.21.81.125 with an abuse score of 0/100 and no prior abuse reports. SSL is issued by Google Trust Services and remains valid for 78 days. One redirect hop occurs within the same domain. External resources include microsoft.com, x.com, and cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com.

Domain History

The domain paint-3d.com was registered on 2025-06-24 through Spaceship, Inc. and is 1.1 years old. WHOIS privacy protection is disabled, yet no business registration records were located for the operator. The domain is flagged as a typosquat of microsoft.com.

Web Reputation

Two scam reports were located. A Reddit thread states the site is an unofficial third-party source and explicitly warns users not to download. A second source at mypaint3d.com confirms Microsoft has not authorized any third-party site to distribute Paint 3D. No positive reviews or trust ratings were found on independent review aggregators.

What this means for you

Visitors risk downloading modified or bundled software from an unverified source. The site exploits the discontinuation of the official app to create urgency around an unofficial installer.

AI Recommendation

Do not download any files from this site. Obtain software only from official Microsoft channels or the Microsoft Store.

What to do

Cracked-software site — malware risk

Cracks, keygens, activators, and "pre-activated" downloads are one of the most common ways people get infected.

Do not interact with paint-3d.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
Don't download or run any crack, keygen, or activator
The "crack" itself is frequently an infostealer, ransomware, or miner. No antivirus can make a pirated installer safe, and disabling your AV "so the crack works" is exactly what the malware needs.
If you already ran one, treat the device as compromised
Disconnect from the internet, run a full anti-malware scan, and change important passwords from a different, clean device.
Use official or free legitimate software instead
Most paid tools have free tiers, trials, or open-source equivalents that carry none of this risk.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to download software? Use a safe option instead

Downloading software? Get it from the maker's official site or an official app store — "cracked", "modded", or keygen downloads are one of the most reliable ways to install malware.

The vendor's official website

Search the product name + "official" and check the domain before downloading.
