What is this website?
windows.net is currently classified in the Software category based on observed public pages. Recurring page-metadata topics include open source, developer platform, apps.
No listed local patterns observedHomepage-only analysis is not a malware clearance. Read the scope and findings below.
How to read this report
Safety Score evaluates observed signals. Evidence Confidence measures how complete, direct, fresh, and consistent those signals are.
No automated scan can guarantee that a website is safe.
Independent evidence brief
What we observed about windows.net
The latest scan examined 0 public pages on windows.net. Website descriptions below come from the site itself. Registration, connection and threat findings were checked separately.
Purpose and visible content
On its homepage, the site says: .NET is a developer platform with tools and libraries for building any type of app, including web, mobile, desktop, games, IoT, cloud, and microservices.
Observed page title: .NET - Build modern apps and powerful cloud services.
Registrar and domain history
Registered on Aug 10, 1995. Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc..
Recorded expiry date: Jun 4, 2027. Registry data can change.
Connection and hosting evidence
The checked homepage returned HTTP 200 in about 2000 ms.
TLS validity was not confirmed by the available evidence.
Threat checks and score context
External malware-provider coverage was unavailable. The report does not treat this missing check as a clean result.
Safety Score: 61/100. Evidence Confidence: 70%. These measure different things.
Latest recorded material change: Safety score updated from 60 to 61.

Topics and keywords observed on windows.net
These phrases were extracted locally from sampled public page metadata. They are observations, not search-volume or ranking estimates.

Key findings
Report is current
The displayed evidence comes from the published immutable scan.
Confidence is separate
Unavailable evidence is shown as missing and never counted as clean.
Verify before sensitive actions

Fully explainable
Why this score?
Threat providers were unavailable. The neutral uncertainty baseline is not a clean verdict.
Domain registration age and expiry were checked.
Observed DNS records and network address were checked.
Evidence is unavailable.
Observed security header values were checked for basic protective settings. Empty values, disabled HSTS and unrecognized values receive no credit. This is not a complete browser-policy validation.
Observed site metadata and About page were checked. Publisher-supplied details are not independently verified.
Popularity is weak context, not proof of safety. Unranked sites use a neutral baseline.
Observed HTTP status and final connection scheme were checked.
Server-side analysis
Automated security checks
Local antivirus and phishing checks
Sampled scripts and pages
Resource analysis incomplete
6 resources checked · 14 script links observed on the homepage. Partial resource coverage.
ClamAV inspects the fetched homepage HTML on our server. New scans also sample up to four linked scripts and two collected internal pages, with size and time limits. Scripts are not executed. Other downloads, private server files and logged-in pages remain outside this check. A signature match needs investigation and can be a false positive. No match is not a whole-site safety guarantee.
Exact hostname lookup uses a downloaded Phishing.Database snapshot. It does not send this domain to an external lookup API or mark sibling subdomains as harmful. Not listed does not mean safe. Snapshot age is download age, not proof that every entry was recently revalidated.
Homepage HTML only · Eight local rule families · local-security-v2
Checks use the fetched page and redirect chain. Scripts are not executed, forms are not submitted, and linked files are not downloaded. This is not a malware clearance.
Page resource inventory
Counts describe the sampled HTML, not every resource loaded by the browser. External resources are common and are not automatically harmful.
No listed local patterns observed. The limited rule set cannot detect every threat or behavior.
External threat intelligence
Local checks do not query external reputation databases. An unavailable check is never a clean result.

These counters describe the fetched response and sampled HTML. Script counts describe references in the markup, not a complete browser network log. Cookie counts cover observed response headers.

DNS footprint
DNSKEY presence does not verify the DNSSEC signature chain. Missing records can mean no record was returned or the lookup was unavailable.

Domain email protection
Exact-host SPF and DMARC observations help the owner investigate email impersonation risks. They are separate from website malware checks and do not change the Safety Score.
What to do next
Review the records with your mail administrator. Inventory legitimate senders and test SPF and DKIM alignment before enforcing a stricter DMARC policy. Fix duplicate records and investigate overly permissive SPF rules.
This bounded check does not send email, probe SMTP, evaluate recursive SPF includes, verify DKIM signatures or apply organizational-domain DMARC inheritance. A missing subdomain record does not prove that no inherited protection exists. A DNS timeout is unknown, not an absent record. A policy record is not proof that messages authenticate successfully.
Responsible disclosure
security.txt
No readable security.txt file was observed at the standard locations. This is informational and is not evidence of malware.
Browser protections
Security headers
Response headers
Cookie protections
Only cookie attribute counts are retained. Cookie names and values are never stored. These observations are not proof of compromise and do not independently change the Safety Score.
Detected stack
Technologies
Versions are shown only when publicly exposed by the page or response headers. An observed version is not, by itself, proof of a vulnerability.
JavaScript library advisories
4 sampled JavaScript files checked locally with Retire.js. Database snapshot: 2026-09-30T02:40:06.930Z.
No supported library version was identified in the sampled files. This does not establish that the scripts are safe.
A version match is not proof that the website is infected or that an issue is exploitable here. Owners should review the advisory, check whether their code is affected and test an update. Up to four external script files are sampled, not every dependency, inline script or dynamically loaded resource.

Redirect chain
The chain is shown exactly as observed by the scanner. A redirect is not itself a malware finding, but unexpected domains or an HTTP downgrade deserve review.
