Is virgil.samidy.com safe to use?

virgil.samidy.com currently scores 30/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does virgil.samidy.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. virgil.samidy.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 31 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the virgil.samidy.com domain?

virgil.samidy.com is 1.8 years old, registered on 8/30/2024 through Cloudflare, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has virgil.samidy.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

5 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged virgil.samidy.com as malicious or suspicious (3 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is virgil.samidy.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is virgil.samidy.com hosted?

virgil.samidy.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 virgil.samidy.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 19, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

Confidence

The site functions as a specialized scraper for pirated content, which naturally carries a higher risk of distributing malicious files. Our antivirus network shows five detections from providers like ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, and Chong Lua Dao, likely due to the nature of the indexed links. While the project is open-source and recognized in specific online communities, it lacks any formal business registration or contact information. The domain has been active for nearly two years, providing some history, but the lack of a global traffic index suggests it remains a niche tool. We have adjusted the confidence because the site itself is a search tool rather than a direct host, but the 'cracked' content it surfaces is frequently bundled with threats.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a minimalist search interface titled 'Virgil Search Engine' with specific categories for Games, Software, and Mobile APKs. It contains no contact information, email addresses, or physical location data, which is typical for piracy-related projects.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind Cloudflare and uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. It operates as a subdomain of samidy.com, which is a personal domain belonging to a developer active on GitHub.

Domain History

The domain was registered approximately 658 days ago (August 2024). It has maintained a consistent presence as an open-source project, though it does not appear in major global traffic rankings.

Web Reputation

Reputation is polarized; while security vendors like Gridinsoft and CyRadar flag the site as suspicious or malicious, community discussions on platforms like Reddit suggest it is a curated tool for finding 'safe' piracy sources. However, no independent business reviews exist to verify its safety for general users.

Risk Factors

Five antivirus engines (including ADMINUSLabs and CyRadar) flag the domain as malicious or suspicious.
The site specifically indexes 'cracked' and pirated software, which is a primary vector for malware distribution.
No verifiable business registration or corporate ownership data is available.
Complete absence of contact details, including email, phone, or physical address.
Low trust score from independent security aggregators due to the nature of the content.

Positive Signals

The domain has been active for over 650 days without being taken down.
The project is open-source on GitHub with visible developer activity.
Recognized as a resource by specific niche communities for software aggregation.

AI Recommendation

Avoid downloading executable files or APKs from the search results unless you are using a secondary, isolated device. Ensure your local antivirus is active if you choose to interact with the indexed links.

Research summary

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

Our research found that Virgil is an actively maintained open-source project by a developer known as SamidyFR. While it is recommended in piracy communities on Reddit as a 'trusted' way to search for software, security vendors have blacklisted the domain because it facilitates access to cracked applications. There are no reports of the site itself stealing data, but the third-party links it provides are often flagged for containing generic malicious objects.
