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.

Confidence
Our analysis found that ten separate antivirus engines, including Fortinet, CyRadar, and ADMINUSLabs, have flagged the files on this site as malicious. The page promotes a 'cracked' version of a streaming app, which is a classic delivery method for info-stealers and trojans. While the domain has been registered for over 500 days, it lacks any verifiable business information or official contact details. The site also contains misleading references to Amazon, likely to build unearned trust with visitors. Because the primary purpose of the site is to distribute flagged software, the risk to your device is high.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is designed as a landing page for 'PikaShow APK v93,' claiming to offer free access to live TV, movies, and IPL cricket. It uses high-pressure marketing language like 'Security Verified' and 'No Malware' to lower user defenses.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on an IP address with a neutral reputation, but the technical configuration is minimal. It uses a standard Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and Porkbun for registration, which are common choices for both legitimate and malicious small-scale sites.

Domain History

The domain has existed for 571 days, which is longer than many temporary scam sites. However, the lack of a global traffic index suggests it operates in the shadows or relies on direct links from social media rather than organic search authority.

Web Reputation

The reputation is severely compromised by the consensus among our antivirus partners. Ten engines explicitly mark the site or its downloads as malware or malicious, which outweighs the age of the domain.
Risk Factors
5
  • Ten antivirus engines (including Fortinet and CyRadar) flag the site as malicious.
  • Distributes 'cracked' or 'modded' software, a high-risk category for malware infections.
  • Impersonates Amazon branding elements on a non-official domain.
  • No physical address or verified phone number provided for the operators.
  • Uses deceptive 'Security Verified' badges that are not backed by actual certifications.
Positive Signals
2
  • The domain has been registered for over 18 months.
  • Valid SSL certificate is currently active.
AI Recommendation

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 flags pikashowtv.in as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — pikashowtv.in scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. pikashowtv.in presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 55 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • pikashowtv.in is 1.6 years old, registered on 12/5/2024 through Porkbun LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 13 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged pikashowtv.in as malicious or suspicious (10 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. pikashowtv.in is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • pikashowtv.in resolves to an IP operated by ALEXHOST SRL in MD (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 29, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around pikashowtv.in have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
