PCrisk Website Scanner

What does the trust score mean?

The trust score is a rating from 0 to 100 generated automatically from the scan signals we collect. It is our own aggregated assessment — it is not provided by, nor attributable to, any individual security vendor. We group the result into four tiers: 70–100 — No Threats Found. No obvious threat indicators in the available scan data. 40–69 — Moderate Risk. Some signals warrant caution. 20–39 — Suspicious. Multiple indicators suggest potential risk. 0–19 — High Risk. Strong indicators of likely harmful activity. Results reflect findings at the time of the scan and may change. A trust score is no

How does the scanner work?

When you submit a URL, we check it against more than 90 independent security and threat-intelligence sources, inspect the site's files and resources, verify its SSL/TLS certificate, look up domain registration and hosting information, capture a screenshot in an isolated browser, and produce an AI-generated summary of the findings. All of these signals are combined into a single trust score so you can understand the result at a glance. A detailed report is then shown, including the Blacklist Status, File Scan Summary, External Links & Domains, HTTP Redirect Chain, and Website Insights sections.

How long does a scan take?

Most scans complete in under a minute. Some scans — especially for large or slow-responding websites — can take up to five minutes. Please keep the scanner tab open while a scan is in progress. The progress indicator will show the current step, and you will be redirected to the report automatically as soon as it is ready.

How many security engines do you check?

We check every URL against more than 90 security and threat-intelligence sources, including major blacklist providers, phishing databases, malware URL feeds, and DNS-based blocklists. The exact number is shown at the top of the Blacklist Status section on each report. To comply with the terms of our data providers, we do not publish individual vendor names on the results pages. The list of sources we query is updated from time to time as new feeds are added or removed.

Is my scan private? Do you store personal information?

You do not need to register or provide an email address to use the scanner, and we do not associate scans with any user identity. We do store the scanned URL and the resulting report so that frequently requested domains can be served quickly and so that we can improve the accuracy of the scanner over time. These reports are public: anyone who enters the same URL will see the same report until a new scan is performed, and they may appear in search engine results. If you are concerned about a specific URL being publicly viewable, please do not submit it to the scanner.

How often are results updated?

Each report shows the date and time of the most recent scan. If that information is out of date, you can rescan the website from the report page to generate a fresh result. Because website content, hosting, and reputation can change quickly, results should be treated as a point-in-time snapshot. A site that was clean when last scanned may have changed since, and a flagged site may have been cleaned up.

I am a website owner. How do I dispute a score or correct a report?

We take accuracy seriously and every dispute is reviewed manually. If you believe a report is inaccurate, open the report for your domain and click “Dispute This Score” near the bottom of the page. Fill in the form with the domain, reason, and any relevant context. We may ask you to verify ownership of the domain (for example, by adding a DNS TXT record or replying from the address on the WHOIS record) before the dispute can be processed. Our team typically responds within 1–2 business days.

Why was a known-good website marked as "Moderate Risk"?

False positives are possible. A legitimate website can be marked as moderate risk for reasons such as a recently registered domain, missing WHOIS data, a heuristic flag from one of our sources, unusual redirects, or unavailable infrastructure information at the time of the scan. One or two engines reporting a hit is often a false positive rather than confirmation of a real threat. If you believe the result is wrong, please use the Dispute This Score form on the report page so our team can review the case.
