Is viewmenuprices.com a scam?

Our automated security review flags viewmenuprices.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is viewmenuprices.com safe to use?

No — viewmenuprices.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does viewmenuprices.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. viewmenuprices.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 72 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the viewmenuprices.com domain?

viewmenuprices.com is 4 months old, registered on 1/26/2026 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has viewmenuprices.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

2 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged viewmenuprices.com as malicious or suspicious (2 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is viewmenuprices.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is viewmenuprices.com hosted?

viewmenuprices.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.

How often is the viewmenuprices.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around viewmenuprices.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

High visual risk

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The page promotes a Chrome extension that self-discloses it will modify the browser's search bar with sponsored results, a hallmark of potentially unwanted adware extensions; the stripped-down install-funnel layout with no publisher identity or legal disclosures reinforces elevated risk.

Visual risk72/100

What our vision model saw

5 signals

Page is a standalone extension install prompt with no navigation, footer, privacy policy, or publisher identity — minimal context about who operates the site.

Description explicitly states the extension will deliver 'sponsored web search update in your Search Bar', a known characteristic of browser hijacker/adware-type extensions.

The 'Add to Chrome - It's Free' CTA button bypasses the Chrome Web Store landing page, pushing users directly through install steps without independent review opportunity.

No trust indicators, publisher name, company information, or terms of service are visible anywhere on the page.

Isolated card layout with no surrounding site content is a common pattern for adware extension distribution landing pages designed to minimise distractions from the install funnel.

Confidence

The domain hosts a landing page designed to drive installation of a Chrome extension that modifies your browser's default search behavior. The page explicitly discloses the extension will deliver 'sponsored web search update in your Search Bar'—a hallmark of adware. Two antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs and Fortinet) classify the domain as malicious. Independent security research published in June 2026 identified the extension in a 'SearchJack' report documenting 23 browser extensions that silently monetize user searches via hijacking, with viewmenuprices.com listed as the search endpoint. The operators control the search traffic and can inject phishing or malicious content without updating the extension. The install funnel strips away publisher identity, legal disclosures, and trust indicators—a common pattern for adware distribution. No legitimate business registration, contact details, or independent reviews exist to counter these signals.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a stripped-down extension install prompt with no navigation, footer, privacy policy, or publisher identity. It promotes a Chrome extension called 'View Menu with Prices' and explicitly states the extension will deliver 'sponsored web search update in your Search Bar.' The layout is a classic adware-distribution funnel designed to minimise friction and bypass independent review.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP 104.21.7.91 with a valid SSL certificate (72 days to expiry). The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. However, the domain itself is flagged by two antivirus engines: ADMINUSLabs and Fortinet both classify it as malicious or malware.

Domain History

Registered 135 days ago (approximately January 2026) via GoDaddy. The associated Chrome extension was published on January 29, 2026, and has accumulated approximately 10,000 users. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, indicating minimal organic reach.

Web Reputation

Security research published in June 2026 (malext.io 'SearchJack' report) identified the extension as part of a 23-extension campaign that silently monetizes user searches via hijacking. The report highlights that operators controlling the search traffic can inject phishing or malicious content without updating the extension. No user reviews, scam reports, or complaints were found on independent review sites or social platforms.

Risk Factors

Two antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, Fortinet) flag the domain as malicious.
Extension explicitly discloses it will inject 'sponsored web search update' into your search bar—a defining characteristic of adware.
Identified in security research as part of a 23-extension search-hijacking campaign that monetizes user searches.
Install funnel strips away publisher identity, legal disclosures, and trust indicators—standard adware distribution pattern.
Operators control search traffic and can inject phishing or malicious content without updating the extension.
No legitimate business registration, contact details, or independent reviews to establish legitimacy.
Domain is 135 days old with no organic traffic ranking, suggesting it exists solely to drive extension installs.

Positive Signals

SSL certificate is valid and issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
No malware or sandbox detections beyond the antivirus engine flags.
No clone-site or credential-harvesting patterns detected.

AI Recommendation

Do not install this extension. If you have already installed it, uninstall it immediately from your Chrome extensions menu and reset your search engine settings to your preferred provider. The extension modifies your browser's search behaviour to inject sponsored results and monetize your searches without meaningful consent.

Scam network detected

Related infrastructure identified

Research summary

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

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for viewmenuprices.com and found no direct scam complaints or user reviews. However, independent security research (malext.io, June 2026) identified the associated Chrome extension as part of a documented search-hijacking campaign affecting 23 browser extensions. The extension is listed in that report as silently monetizing user searches and routing them through viewmenuprices.com. The security concern is not fraud in the traditional sense, but rather unwanted modification of browser behaviour and search traffic monetization—a form of adware.
