01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site distributes free GPL-licensed binaries and source code for Qmmp, a Qt-based multimedia player active since 2007. No commercial transaction, payment flow, or affiliate mechanism is present.

Project legitimacy and history

The registrable domain is 7598 days old and hosts the official project page for Qmmp, a community-developed audio player released under GPL-2.0-or-later.

The site links directly to SourceForge for downloads and references the Qt framework.

Technical signals

Historical antivirus detections (Fortinet, CRDF) have been acknowledged by maintainers as false positives common to software distribution sites.

Visitor flow

Visitors land on the project homepage, see download links, and are directed to SourceForge for binaries or source archives.

Why the score is 92

Saved antivirus evidence is adverse but is not fresh enough for a current conviction. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Timeline · identity · encryption · redirects · hosting

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on qmmp.ylsoftware.com and not a lookalike like q-mmp.ylsoftware.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is qmmp.ylsoftware.com legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on qmmp.ylsoftware.com, so it appears legitimate. and the domain is 20.8 years old, registered on October 19, 2005 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is qmmp.ylsoftware.com safe to use?
qmmp.ylsoftware.com has a Safety Score of 92/100 (Safe). Fresh core checks and semantic analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like qmmp.ylsoftware.com still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from qmmp.ylsoftware.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from qmmp.ylsoftware.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has qmmp.ylsoftware.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged qmmp.ylsoftware.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.
Is qmmp.ylsoftware.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — qmmp.ylsoftware.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 qmmp.ylsoftware.com domain?
qmmp.ylsoftware.com is 20.8 years old, registered on October 19, 2005 through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC. 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.
Does qmmp.ylsoftware.com have a valid SSL certificate?
No — qmmp.ylsoftware.com has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is qmmp.ylsoftware.com hosted?
qmmp.ylsoftware.com resolves to an IP operated by PRIVATE LAYER INC in CH (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 qmmp.ylsoftware.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 8, 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 qmmp.ylsoftware.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
