Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents a functional website threat scanner interface with a maintenance notice visible during the scan. It displays recently scanned domains (demartinimmobiliare.it, zgtickets.com.mx, nejm.org, etc.) and a list of popular website checks. The page includes standard security scanner features: malware detection, phishing analysis, reputation checks, SSL verification, and AI assessment. Disclaimers state that no automated scanner guarantees 100% detection and that scores are reference only.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 104.26.3.181 has zero abuse reports and an abuse score of 0/100. SSL certificate is valid, issued by Google Trust Services, with 37 days remaining. The domain redirects cleanly with no cross-domain or homoglyph indicators. External resources loaded include Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and social media links (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube), all standard for a legitimate web service.

Domain History

scanner.pcrisk.com is operated by RCS LT, UAB, a Lithuanian company registered in 2007 (company code 300992563). The parent domain pcrisk.com was established in 2010 as a cybersecurity portal. WHOIS privacy is enabled via Shield Whois (Sweden proxy), a common practice for established companies. The domain has approximately 15 years of operational history.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network reports zero detections across 93 engines. Browser blocklists show no flags. Independent review aggregators rate the site as safe and legitimate, with positive mentions in cybersecurity tool comparison articles. No scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations appear in public databases. A historical false-positive block by a security vendor was resolved and documented in support forums.

  • WHOIS privacy enabled via third-party proxy, which obscures direct domain ownership details.
  • Global traffic index shows the domain is not ranked in top-site databases, indicating limited mainstream visibility.
  • No phone number or postal address listed on the page, though this is typical for online-only security tools.
  • No email address using the site's own domain visible on the page.

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.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on scanner.pcrisk.com and not a lookalike like s-canner.pcrisk.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • 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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

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