Is stickyadstv.com a scam?

Is stickyadstv.com safe to use?

stickyadstv.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 95/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

How old is the stickyadstv.com domain?

stickyadstv.com is 16.9 years old, registered on 8/14/2009 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has stickyadstv.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report stickyadstv.com as clean.

Is stickyadstv.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. stickyadstv.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is stickyadstv.com hosted?

stickyadstv.com resolves to an IP operated by OVH SAS in FR (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.

Is stickyadstv.com a well-known website?

Yes. stickyadstv.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

How often is the stickyadstv.com report updated?

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 stickyadstv.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The domain has been registered for over 17 years, which is a strong indicator of an established business. Our analysis confirms it belongs to StickyADStv SAS, a French company that provides video advertising services for media brands. While some older reports mention the domain in relation to adware, this is because the company's ad-delivery scripts were sometimes bundled with third-party software, not because the domain itself is malicious. The site is currently part of the FreeWheel (Comcast) advertising ecosystem. All technical signals, including clean scans from our antivirus network and a lack of abuse reports, support its legitimacy.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases and business registries for stickyadstv.com and found that it is the official domain for StickyADStv SAS. Business records show the company was acquired by FreeWheel (a Comcast company) in 2016. While some technical forums from 2017 discuss redirects to this domain, these are attributed to legitimate advertising scripts being triggered by adware on a user's device, not fraud by the site itself.

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 stickyadstv.com and not a lookalike like s-tickyadstv.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.
