Is theinfiniteloop.co.uk legit or a scam?
Apple repair business site flagged as malware by 12 antivirus engines despite active UK company registration and strong independent review aggregator reviews.
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.
