Is Keepv.id safe to use?

Keepv.id is an online video downloader that’s free to use. It asks you to paste in the video link and then lets you download the video in a selected format and quality. It prides itself on being able to download videos from hundreds of websites. It even advertises itself by claiming to be better than other video downloaders, such as Flvto.biz, 2conv.com, Ytmp3.cc, and others.

It is fine to use, but there are some risks.

First, like with every file download site, it’s important to make sure that the files that you’re downloading are safe. And sure, the videos downloaded from Keepv.id are not dangerous or infected, so there’s nothing to be worried about there. For now, at least.

There’s another problem that makes Keepv.id unsafe: the ads that it shows. Because the site is free to use, it displays ads to survive. Unfortunately, some of the ads that it shows are potentially dangerous because they lead to malicious sites, scams, and other harmful content:

• Fake celebrity get-rich-quick stories meant to promote scams like Bitcoin Era. Sites like Dailyinvesting.info and Worldwide-breakingnews.com.
• Clickbait sites. They aren’t harmful on their own, but they promote plenty of scam websites.
• Fake and misleading security warnings. They’re used as ads for potentially unwanted apps, such as random VPN apps.

Besides scams and unwanted apps, there are plenty of ads for controversial content, such as adult content and gambling sites. While children can’t sign up for gambling sites, it might still be a little concerning that they get to see ads for those websites.

Malware-infected ads are also a possibility. Keepv.id shows a lot of low-quality ads. Sites like it are at risk of their ads getting infected.

In addition, Keepv.id might ask you to allow its notifications. Some websites use notifications to spam unwanted ads right to your screen whenever your browser is open.

How to protect yourself on Keepv.id

To stay safe on Keepv.id, it’s important to protect yourself from malicious websites and scam ads. You can do that in a few ways:

• Use a good ad blocker. Sites like Keepv.id work for free, so it might seem unfair to block their ads. But if you want to avoid malicious pop-ups, it’s best to just block ads on websites like Keepv.id.
• Use an anti-malware app or a malicious site blocker. These programs can block some malicious sites, but not all.
• Configure your browsers to not display notification prompts.
• View with suspicion any website that asks you to provide your personal information, your payment info, or that tells you to install an app. Don’t interact with these sites – just close them.
• Use antivirus apps to protect your devices. They will scan the files that you download and warn you if anything suspicious is found.

How to remove malware

Use antivirus programs (such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others) to protect your device and remove malicious apps.

Disable unwanted notifications in the settings of your browser:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

If you use sites like Keepv.id regularly, stay vigilant and don’t trust any of the pop-ups that open in your browser unexpectedly.
