Domain Due Diligence

Report for Filecr.com

Report Date
October 9, 2025
Recommendation
Caution
Overall Summary
Suspicious
  Why we think so? 

filecr.com is a long-running site (registered 2015) that publishes and indexes free and "cracked" software. It receives very high traffic (~12 million monthly visits) and uses Cloudflare plus a valid HTTPS certificate, which indicates competent technical setup. At the same time, multiple user reports and security commentary warn that downloads can contain malware or Trojans, and the site hosts infringing/cracked software—an activity that is legally risky. The domain is not flagged on common blacklists and Google Safe Browsing shows no active threats, but the mix of high traffic, hidden/ redacted WHOIS registrant data, and reports about malicious files mean this site is best treated as risky: technically stable but content-wise hazardous. Proceed only with strong protections (VM/antivirus) and avoid providing payment or personal data.

Risk Insights

⚠️

Content risk: cracked software increases malware likelihood

  • Files labeled as "cracked" or pirated are a common vector for Trojans and unwanted payloads.
  • User reports repeatedly mention antivirus detections after downloads.
  • Treat downloads as untrusted until scanned in an isolated environment.
🛡️

Technical posture is solid but not protective of content

  • Valid TLS and Cloudflare CDN indicate mature hosting and uptime.
  • MX/SPF records for Zoho suggest legitimate email routing is configured.
  • These technical signals do not remove content-level legal or security risk.

Contradictory Signals

The site appears operationally mature and persistent, yet its content model (cracked software) generates repeated security complaints; longevity therefore does not equal safety.

Signal A: High site age and large traffic (~12M/mo) — implies stable, established service

Signal B: Widespread user reports of malware in downloads and illegal content distribution

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Distribution of cracked/pirated software — high legal and security risk.
  • User reports of malware (Trojans, viruses) embedded in downloads.
  • WHOIS registrant data redacted; no clear accountable owner listed.
  • Site content model (file sharing of cracked apps) increases exposure to malicious payloads.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Ownership & WHOIS transparency

Score: 40/100
Failed

"The domain was registered in 2015, which gives age-based credibility, but the lack of visible owner contact reduces accountability for takedowns or fraud complaints."

Reason: WHOIS registrant fields are redacted and the registrant country is Pakistan; no clear corporate owner is published on the site.

Reputation & user reports

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Automated services (e.g., ScamAdviser referenced in aggregated sources) sometimes rate the site as generally safe, but user-sourced reports and videos show repeated malware findings tied to downloads."

Reason: Multiple independent user reports indicate malware in downloads and a history of mixed reviews; this lowers trust despite some automated rating sites calling it generally safe.

Technical signals (TLS, CDN, DNS, mail)

Score: 80/100
Passed

"Good technical hygiene (CDN, TLS, SPF) reduces some phishing/ impersonation vectors and supports reliable site delivery, but does not protect users from malicious file contents."

Reason: Site uses Cloudflare, has a valid Sectigo TLS cert and properly configured MX/SPF records (Zoho) which indicate competent operational security.

Content legitimacy (what the site publishes)

Score: 25/100
Failed

"Even if files are hosted externally, indexing and promoting cracked software places the site in a legally and security-risky category for users."

Reason: Primary content is cracked/pirated software and community-shared files; that content inherently carries copyright and malware risk.

Blacklist & malware detection

Score: 60/100
Passed

"Automated blacklists are clean, which lowers the chance of active widespread phishing or known malware hosting, but site-specific file risk remains high per user reports."

Reason: No matches found on Google Safe Browsing and no crypto-scam blacklist hits in the retrieved evidence, but this is not a guarantee of safety for downloaded files.

Legal & trademark conflicts

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Absence of trademark registration does not imply legal safety; the site documents a DMCA process which implies prior takedown activity."

Reason: USPTO search returned no registered trademarks for the exact name, but distributing cracked software creates exposure to DMCA takedowns and copyright liability.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    Avoid downloading executables from this site unless you isolate them in a disposable VM and scan with up-to-date antivirus before running.

  • 2

    If you must use the site, do not provide payment or personal details to the site or its download pages.

  • 3

    Report malicious files to your AV vendor and to Google Safe Browsing if you encounter malware.

  • 4

    Prefer official vendor downloads or licensed software stores; consider open-source alternatives when possible.

  • 5

    If you suspect a device was infected after using the site, run a full AV/anti-malware scan and consider a forensic or recovery workflow (restore from backup or OS reinstall).
