Is projectfreetv.sx legit or a scam?
Projectfreetv.sx is a piracy-focused clone site that imitates a defunct streaming brand to lure users into an ad-heavy environment with high malware risks.
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 our vision model saw
6 signalsSite offers copyrighted TV shows and movies for free, a hallmark of piracy streaming sites
Unprofessional banner design with dated graphics and 'Free To Revolt' slogan
Instructional banner advising users to clear cache if design errors occur suggests unstable or amateur development
Prominent 'Android App' link on a piracy site often leads to potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) or malware
Use of the 'Project - Free TV' brand, which is a known name in the piracy/streaming space
Lack of legitimate streaming service branding or licensing information
MT Intelligence
The site uses the name and branding of a well-known streaming service that was officially shut down in 2017. Our analysis confirms it is a clone designed to capitalize on that old reputation to attract traffic for illegal movie and TV show streaming. While the technical scan shows clean results from most antivirus engines, Gridinsoft flags the domain as suspicious. The page lacks any legitimate business registration, contact information, or licensing details. Furthermore, the presence of an 'Android App' download on an unlicensed streaming site is a classic delivery method for potentially unwanted programs or malware.
