Description of yt118.com
yt118.com appears to be a sparse web page built around security-themed navigation links such as "computer virus removal service," "malware scan online," and "best antivirus software." Based on the visible homepage, it does not present clear company branding, editorial content, product details, or an identifiable service provider, and the domain name itself does not strongly indicate a known organization or established brand.
The site may function as a landing page or traffic-routing page related to malware-removal or security-help topics rather than a full-featured business website. The available metadata is minimal, and the homepage shown in the scan provides little context about ownership, purpose, or operational legitimacy beyond a few generic menu options and basic policy links.
Safety Assessment for yt118.com
Several scan signals raise concern at the time of this scan. The domain was flagged by 7 out of 92 security engines, with multiple engines classifying it as malicious, phishing-related, or malware-associated. In addition, web-classification sources associated the site with phishing, malicious web activity, and known infection-source behavior. A separate malware scan also marked the page as suspicious and flagged the main index resource, although no specific malware family name was identified.
Blacklist and threat-database results were mixed rather than uniformly negative. Major content-malice databases in the provided scan data did not detect the domain at the time of this scan, and the DNS-based mail-reputation checks were clean. However, one blacklist source in the provided data did list the domain under a generic malicious-object label, which adds some caution even though that signal is less conclusive than broad multi-engine consensus.
The domain is relatively old, which can sometimes reduce concern, but age alone does not outweigh the number of malicious/phishing detections and the sparse, low-transparency page design. Based on these findings, this website may pose potential risks to visitors.
Technical Description
The site was reachable over HTTPS with a valid Let's Encrypt certificate that, based on the scan data, is valid until 2026-11-10. DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is common but means the domain does not benefit from that additional DNS integrity layer. The reported server IP was 69.162.80.54 in Dallas, United States, with nameservers set to ns1.hastydns.com and ns2.hastydns.com.
From a technical perspective, the scan data shows limited transparency: the web server software and protocol details were not identified, and the page itself appears minimal. No external links, referenced domains, or iframes were observed in the provided scan, which reduces visible third-party dependency on the homepage, but it also leaves little context for validating the site's intended function.
