Is nrk.no Safe?
I conducted a series of malware tests to find out if nrk.no is safe and legit. Here are the results:
I installed the Malwarebytes Browser Guard on my Edge browser and was able to browse the site nrk.no without any issues.
To check this further I ran malware scans with Malwarebytes and Spybot on my computer after browsing the site programme-tv.net and they returned no malware detection. I also ran a system-wide scan with Microsoft Defender and no malware was found.
To confirm that the site is clean, I also checked the site programme-tv.net on the online malware scanner Sucuri and the scan failed due to a redirect loop. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site nrk.no.
Numerous improvements could be made to its security headers which I have listed below:

However, these minor issues don’t change the overall grade of the scan from being a low security risk.
Lastly, I ran a malware scan with VirusTotal on the domain nrk.no and no security vendor has flagged the domain as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the domain nrk.no.
In conclusion, the site nrk.no is safe to visit. Sucuri says it is a low security risk with no malware. VirusTotals says no security vendor has flagged the site as malicious.
