Is torlock.com a scam?

Our automated security review marked torlock.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is torlock.com safe to use?

torlock.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does torlock.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. torlock.com presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by CloudFlare, Inc., expiring in 2427 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has torlock.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged torlock.com as malicious or suspicious. Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is torlock.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is torlock.com hosted?

torlock.com resolves to an IP operated by ALEXHOST SRL in MD (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 torlock.com a well-known website?

Yes. torlock.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 torlock.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around torlock.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

Torlock.com has operated since 2010 as a BitTorrent search engine, but security research consistently associates it with adware delivery and malicious behaviour. Multiple independent security vendors classify the site as dubious and warn that visits trigger aggressive push-notification prompts, leading to intrusive ads, pornographic redirects, and phishing exposure. User reports on Reddit describe severe malware infections—locked files, system destruction—after downloading software torrents from the platform. The domain's WHOIS registration is privacy-protected and linked to Moldova hosting, with no transparent business entity identified. While one safety aggregator rates it positively, this conflicts sharply with warnings from established security removal guides. The combination of long operational history, consistent malware-distribution warnings, and documented user infections creates a high-risk profile.
