Is www.skidrowreloaded.com a scam?

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

Is www.skidrowreloaded.com safe to use?

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

Does www.skidrowreloaded.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. www.skidrowreloaded.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 46 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the www.skidrowreloaded.com domain?

www.skidrowreloaded.com is 11.7 years old, registered on 10/18/2014 through easyDNS Technologies Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has www.skidrowreloaded.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

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

Is www.skidrowreloaded.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is www.skidrowreloaded.com hosted?

www.skidrowreloaded.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 www.skidrowreloaded.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 2, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around www.skidrowreloaded.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

Our analysis identifies this site as a high-risk piracy hub that uses the names of well-known scene groups like 'Skidrow' and 'Reloaded' to appear legitimate. Although the domain has existed since 2014, our antivirus network—including Kaspersky and ADMINUSLabs—flags it as malicious. User evidence from community forums highlights cases of ransomware and browser hijackers originating from these downloads. The site relies on aggressive advertising and unverified installers, which are classic vectors for infecting users' systems. We have high confidence in this risk due to the combination of security engine detections and documented victim reports.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site operates as a blog-style directory for pirated PC games, repacks, and cracks. It features a 'Donate' button and future-dated posts, which are common in automated or poorly maintained warez portals. No legitimate contact information or business identity is provided.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common content delivery network, which masks the true origin server. While the SSL certificate is valid, the site loads external scripts associated with aggressive ad-serving and potential browser-redirection tactics.

Domain History

Registered in October 2014, the domain has a long history in the piracy niche. It is currently registered through a Canadian service with privacy protection enabled. Its longevity is often used to trick users into a false sense of security.

Web Reputation

The site has a poor reputation across security platforms. Independent review aggregators show a mix of long-term users and victims reporting total system infections. It is frequently blacklisted by specialized malware researchers due to the high volume of malicious binaries it hosts.

Risk Factors

Flagged as malicious by Kaspersky, ADMINUSLabs, and Chong Lua Dao.
Documented reports of ransomware infections and file encryption from users on Reddit.
Impersonates 'Skidrow' and 'Reloaded' groups which do not have official websites.
Distributes cracked software, a primary vector for trojans and info-stealers.
Lacks any verifiable business registration or physical contact details.
Uses deceptive ad-server domains and scripts to bypass security settings.

Positive Signals

Domain has been active for over 10 years.
Valid SSL certificate is in place.

AI Recommendation

Do not download or execute any files from this website. If you have already downloaded software from here, run a full system scan with a reputable antivirus immediately.
