    Recommendation for legitimate website check please


    Hi. Can you give me a recommendation of a site to check a website to see if it's safe? I don't seem to be able to find a consistent answer when checking [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]anti-hacker-alliance website.[/COLOR]

    Windows 10 20H2

    I don't know if there is any "surefire" method.
    Between Defender and Firefox's own security checks, I would think you'd be safe.
    I would think Chrome has similar settings, and Edge seems to be super paranoid.

    Also you can't beat full OS image backups. Like Macrium Reflect for example.

    Malwarebytes flagged it but I'm not sure if it's a false positive for trojan.

    Malwarebytes flagged... what? A website?

    For a website check (not just one page)

    FREE Online Website Malware Scanner | Website Security Monitoring & Malware Removal | Quttera

    Also the site that you mention seems to post links to servers known to host malware so that is probably why it is flagged.

    FREE Online Website Malware Scanner | Website Security Monitoring & Malware Removal | Quttera

    As far as I can work out it is fine to visit that site provided that you don't click on it's list of links.

    That whole list is supposed to be bad sites.

    I scanned www.tenforums.com on Quttera and it came up clean.
    Pretty good considering all the scripts and .bat files we have that could easily generate false positives.

    Kind of points to Quterra's accuracy anyhow.

    Correct. Although some of them are not active. Visiting the site is fine but clicking the direct server links is risky.

    @Alicia J
    I'm not sure why you are interested in that site. It is just doing basic checks on whatever IP you enter in the search form and then presents the info in a scary looking page. It's not a security tool. It's a toy.

    Thank you for all your replies. It was a website someone suggested would be useful but I don’t think so from what I can see, and the info here.

    I did go to that website on my iPhone. I don't think I clicked on any of the links.
