Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a short landing page titled “Adobe Acrobat — System Check” that checks whether a visitor is using a Windows desktop and, when the condition is met, redirects the visitor toward an installer; its apparent purpose is software-download distribution rather than an identifiable business or service portal.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a confirmed external reputation contradiction: multiple security assessments classify the domain as malicious or suspicious, and the domain is recorded on external blacklists. This outweighs the otherwise limited page-level indicators, which show no login form, payment request, credential prompt, or sensitive data-collection interface. The page’s Adobe Acrobat branding, automatic installer redirect, and lack of identifiable business context create a download-integrity concern, although the available evidence does not establish a confirmed brand impersonation or conflicting legal identity.
- External reputation checks recorded 15 malicious detections and 3 suspicious detections, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors; the domain was also recorded as blacklisted.
- The homepage is classified as a download gate or redirector and automatically redirects visitors toward an installer.
- The domain was registered on 2026-09-05 and is approximately 0.03 years old.
- The homepage contains no forms, payment requests, login fields, or credential prompts.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator, and governance and ownership transparency are insufficient for a sensitive interaction. The landing page does not present a corporate identity, licensing claim, registration number, or accountable service description; because the observed model is a software-download redirect rather than a disclosed regulated financial service, this is primarily an identity and accountability gap rather than a licensing conclusion. A valid transport certificate and mainstream hosting infrastructure confirm technical deployment only; they do not establish operator legitimacy.
- The site’s identity verification status is unverified, with no independent identity signals recorded.
- The site makes no license claim and provides no license authority or license number.
- Hosted on AS13335 through CLOUDFLARENET — Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- TLS certificate issued by WE1 with DV validation, valid to 2026-12-04.
What to Verify Next
Before any download, the installer should be obtained through Adobe’s independently verified official distribution channel rather than through this redirect. The downloaded file should be checked for a valid publisher signature and compared with a trusted vendor-provided hash; endpoint security should inspect the file before execution. Any stated operator, support channel, or business affiliation should be confirmed through an independent source, and no account credentials or payment details should be entered in connection with this page.
- The homepage states that the installer is available only for Windows 10 and 11 desktop devices.
- The page displays “Redirecting you to the installer” and uses an automatic redirect.
- The page provides no visible business identity, licensing information, or accountable service description.
- Behavioral observation recorded no external form submissions, wallet activity, clipboard manipulation, or hidden forms, but this does not validate the redirected installer.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. The confirmed external threat detections and blacklist status are decisive, while the page’s limited content and unverified operator identity provide insufficient grounds for trust.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection provides a mitigating layer against direct exposure of the hosting environment, but it is not evidence of legitimacy. All observed addresses were CDN edge servers, and the origin server was not observable in this analysis.
- Observed edge infrastructure included 104.21.22.227, 172.67.207.141, 2606:4700:3030::ac43:cf8d, and 2606:4700:3035::6815:16e3.
- All four observed addresses were associated with AS13335 and Cloudflare edge infrastructure.
- The infrastructure assessment identified no observable origin-server candidate.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate disposition is to avoid sensitive interaction with the site and obtain any purported software through a separately authenticated official distribution path, with endpoint security review before execution.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about userhotels.org at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
